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.
