Purpose of the week's workouts - We're continuing on our Foundation phase of training. You may have noticed that you may have been a little more worn down with the runs in week 2 than you were in week 1. That is all part of the process, and makes it all the more important to be recovering effectively every day. The most important tools for recovery: rest and fuel. Make sure you are getting plenty of sleep every night. Even in the summer, you should be teaching your body to go to bed at a healthy time (try for 8-10 hours of sleep per night). Then refuel with healthy eating and drinking. Eat plenty of healthy food - high proteins, natural sugars, good carbs; and drink a lot of water - 100+ oz. per day.
IF YOU HAVE PINE VIEW GEAR, WEAR IT TO PRACTICE!

Thought of the Week: "While countless stories end with how to find your passion, in reality, that's just the beginning. The harder part is learning how to live with it in a productive and sustainable manner. Before exploring how to nurture the best kind of passion, harmoniously integrate it into you life..."
-Brad Stulberg
We often talk about how important it is to find your reason "why" for your running. Why are you doing this? This will help you through some of the tough times of long hot summer runs. However, finding a reason why and actually living with this passion is sometimes a little tougher than just, "because running is fun," or whatever your reason why is. To be successful at something as difficult as running (or anything tough in life), it is critical that you learn how to live with this passion. To me that means, how to work it into your life, how to optimize your time to be the best you can be, and even how to make sure you are taking time to develop other skills in your life as well so that you are a well rounded person who can enjoy many things.
