This has been a great summer. Many of you are getting the most minutes (and the most consistent running) you've ever had over a summer. This is really going to pay off for you and our team once racing starts. If you've been struggling with consistency, the only thing to do is get a little better at it this week. And then keep growing from there.
Just a heads up - it is best to read the blog on the "web version" so you see all the info. If you're on your phone, scroll down and click "web version" and you'll notice a lot more info available to you like: workouts, pre-post run, pictures, videos, and things like our schedule (we have had a couple changes: adding the HOKA Mile on 8/10, change of Renegade Camp to 8/6-7, so please look at the updated schedule).
Purpose of the Week's Workouts: Click here for a link to this week's workouts (you have to request access on your school account to see the workouts). Each workout is like a piece of a puzzle. The final complete puzzle represents every workout, recovery, etc. that you have put into this summer. The more complete that puzzle is, the better season you and our team are going to have. There might be a couple pieces missing here and there, and you can still have a pretty good idea what the puzzle is; however, if a lot of pieces are missing, one might wonder what the final picture was ever supposed to be.

PVXC Thought of the Week: "9:30"
-Quincy Wilson when asked at the Olympic Trials about what time he goes to bed each night.
Obviously, this is not in our book, but the reason he goes to bed at 9:30 is the idea of the book. Elaborating, Quincy said that to reach his goals and to be the best he can be, he's got to take care of his body. And the best thing he can do to take care of himself is to let it recover from all the hard work he puts in. The best recovery? Sleep. Are you willing to do something that easy? Get in the Boat!
