Congratulations to all who particpated in the Half Marathon it was a great success and I hope each and every one of you enjoyed the training and got everything you hoped for in the run itself!! It has been a pleasure working with all of you and I would urge you to continue training with us through the marathon even if you have to round up a last minute relay team!! The training itself will take much less time and will be much different then mile after mile of running we will be speed training!!
Marathoners this Sat will be our last big long run! We will hit 23 miles!! This week though I expect you to only get in 32 miles including the 13.1 from the half marathon. Next week our weekly mileage will go back up but our long runs will start to shorten.
Relay Runners our training as above mentioned will start to differ from here on out, our mileage will be cut in half with the intensity heightened. Our focus will be on leg turnover and proper running body mechanics to get the most out of each stride. You can also expect more strength and core exercises to properly prepare our bodies to run the shorter and faster relay legs! This week is supposed to be a rest week so allow your mileage to drop down to 25 for the week or 12 if you ran the half marathon!
This weeks meeting time and place will be posted by Thursday eve!!
Once again if I don't get to see those of you finished with your half marathon training and you are currently not on a relay team please consider running on a team! It is truely a lot of fun and this is Santa Barbara's inaugural Marathon so other then seeing all the smiling faces out at momentum practice and getting in what will be some great rewarding training, you may not want to miss out on what is sure to be a very fun event! If your on the fence, or don't have a team shoot me an email and I'm sure there are others willing to join forces and create a fun team!
Thanks again for sticking with it and hope to see you ALL soon!
Coach Anthony
