"Endurance, Stamina, Speed & Sprint"
Hello Runners! Congrats on your 16 mile run this weekend! The staggered start seemed to work nicely and the early start times helped us to beat the heat. I hope that you've noted the strategies that worked for you and you'll change the strategies that didn't work before you run 18 miles on Aug. 1st. We have 11 weeks until the Portland Marathon!
This week you'll find an interesting article titled " Into Thin Air: Marathon Training Tweaks to Reach New Heights" in Running Times July/Aug. Issue,p. 53. If you've reached a plateau, you may want to tweak your training using their advice.
1. Address your weakest link (hamstrings, IT, core) and strengthen that area.
2. Add variety - "...our bodies get attuned to running a specific pace, especially for distance runners."
3. "Cross-training can help rejuvenate the body"
We're looking forward to the Deseret 10k this Friday. Hope to see you there!
Run Happy!
