Weekend Plans

Much better weather for our second day. Don't forget sunscreen when running on days like today.

If you missed it here is what we did today and your plan for tomorrow. See everyone Saturday at 7:30 @ Pier Village in Long Branch for our first long run of the year! We will meet on the boardwalk next to McLoones.

Thursday:
Newcomers: 30 minutes or 3 miles - whichever comes first
Returners: 35 minutes with a 5 minute tempo pick up in the middle.
Varsity Returners: 40 minutes with 5 minute tempo pick up in the middle
All should do 4 strides, 3 x 10 squats, lunges and push ups & 40 seconds intervals of core and ab routine.

Friday:
Rest day. Extra naps are encouraged. We recover best when getting lot of sleeps. Absolutely no running! Recovery is just as important to the process of getting better as our runs are.

Tip of day: Practice breathing properly. Put your hand on stomach and make sure you stomach expands when you breathe in. This confirms that you are using your diaphragm to get optimal oxygen intake.
