Week 3 Cont.

Can't believe almost 3 weeks have already gone by, but I am excited about where our team is physically as our aerobic base grows and our overall strength increases.

Remember WEDNESDAY from 6-8 is our Team Spike Night at Roadrunner in Shrewsbury. All should do their best to attend as it is an important fundraiser for our team.**

If you missed it here is what we did today and your plan for tomorrow. See everyone Thursday at 7:30 @ RBR.

Tuesday:

We started in the weight room, but for those who missed you can do 50 push-ups, squats and lunges in any sets (no more than ten) you like.

Newcomers: 30 minutes run by feel (this means as fast as your body will let you run comfortably)
Returners: 35 minutes run by feel

All should do 1 minute intervals of core and abs.

Wednesday:
Newcomers: 35 minutes recovery run  - 5 strides or rest - Choice day
Returners: 45 minutes recovery run - 6 strides

All should do 1 minute intervals of core and abs.

Tip of the day:  For downhills - Use gravity here and allow your body to take a longer stride with each step. Relax your leg muscles and focus on leaning forward into the hill and landing softly to avoid jarring your knees and other joints.
