Pace Group OYO Weekend

Hi.



Congratulations to everyone on successfully completing the longest run of the session last weekend!!! Well done!

As we begin to wind down the summer, we are starting to look toward our fall races which means most of us are in the heart of our race training and mileage is really building. So think REST!

This OYO weekend is the perfect time to cut back your mileage and give your body a well-deserved rest!!! Believe it or not REST is a part of your training and when you take time off or cutback mileage it does not mean you are slacking!! It is part of our race training strategy, to let your body recover and consolidate your gains (muscles build when you rest) and help prevent injury. You all have worked hard to get here and you should be proud of all the hard work you have done so take time to let your muscles build and your mind relax a little this weekend and be ready to come back strong next week.






For those of you in town this weekend please join us Saturday we will have our 2nd Wally's run of the session. Meet at 5:55am at Wally's at the corner of Mills & Weber for 6-9 miles. Please park on the street, not in the Wally's parking lot. We will meet in front of Wally's and will leave promptly at 6:05amFollowing the run, join us for our Labor Day celebration at Wally's for a couple drinks. Be sure to bring cash as they do not accept credit cards - bringing a clean shirt wouldn't hurt either! Breakfast to follow at Banana's!



The pace will be easy:
