Coach's Notes
THERE WILL BE NO TRAINING ON WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 24TH @ 5:30 PM BECAUSE OF THANKSGIVING. THE 7:00 AM AND 9:00 AM GROUPS WILL MEET, SO EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO ATTEND THEN – THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
Official Training starts the Week of November 29th and Schedules WILL BE password protected. So all NEW Members need to get themselves registered and approved by myself.
These past 4 weeks have gone by pretty fast. During the 12 week training, the schedule will get tougher with higher volume and more intensity. Please listen to your bodies and adjust your training accordingly by cross training on recovery runs and backing off on pace during the harder workouts. If you miss a workout, don't try make it up, instead put it in the history book and move forward. The Coach's and myself are available to answer your training questions at practice, so please ask if you need some help.
Over the Xmas/New Year period from Dec 20th through Jan 2nd, there will be limited meeting times, so please check those two weeks of weekly schedules to see what days and times will be available. Thanks in advance for your understanding here.
Happy Thanksgiving EVERYONE!!!
