Summer Miles Week 3

Be patient!  Be consistent with your running! Most of you are probably feeling a little beat up from jumping up in mileage. 

Don't try to get it all in right now.  Let your body adjust and get stronger.  As it does this, you will be able to add mileage and reach your goals! 

Be smart and patient!  PLAN AHEAD WITH SCHEDULES (vacations, etc), and communicate so that we can help you the best we can.

ALL RUNS NEED TO BE AT AN EASY PACE RIGHT NOW (except for designated Key workouts...like Canyon runs). 

There will be a few pushes here and there (we will tell you specifically when), but YOU MUST KEEP YOUR PACE EASY FOR NOW.  

Let your bodies adjust to the mileage.  The speed stuff will come later!  NO MEDIUM/MODERATE INTENSITY...AT ALL (unless we specifically tell you to)!

We must keep working on taking good care of ourselves.  Keep working on being HYDRATED, eating well (check out the “Vivet Spartanae” link on the left-hand side of the blog to get some idea of what it takes to be better at all of these things) and sleep well!  Not every day will always be perfect but doing these things should be the plan instead of only sometimes we do it!

A few Reminders:

Put your weekly mileage total on the blog.  The link is on the blog titled "2021 Summer Miles."  

If you need to be biking (injury or just a change), YOU CAN ONLY COUNT 1/4th of your biking miles as running miles. 

So, if you did a 20-mile bike ride, then you MUST put on Strava that you did 5 miles running.

Hiking and walking are not running.  They do not count as summer running miles, and do not create the same effect on our bodies as running does. 

NOW, THERE ARE SITUATIONS THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE A CHOICE...please talk to us, and of course we work around situations that come up.

(Vacations or some camps), we have allowed those miles, or other situations...just talk to us Coaches and we will help you!
