Aug. 23-28 (Week 12)

First full week of school, first full race, car wash, Renegade Camp... all done. That was a big week. Let's build on it as we head into the new week. A couple of things on eating... I was just reading a study about how running (XC and track) has the highest amount of eating disorders among collegiate athletes. This is a tough thing because the image of a fast runner is a skinny thing, but all the best runners I've been around have been powerful and strong within the realms of their own healthy body types. Here's a few good articles about healthy eating for runners:
https://www.runnersworld.com/advanced/a20786302/cross-country-nutrition/ (I really like this one)

https://www.riseupnutritionrun.com/post/4-easy-ways-to-optimize-a-cross-country-runner-s-diet (has good quick tips)

https://www.runnersworld.com/advanced/a20812277/nutrition-guide-for-high-school-runners/ (a day by day guide; doesn't necessarily go with our workout schedule, but has good ideas)

http://www.vistanationxc.com/uploads/1/2/6/4/12640731/nutrition_for_distace_runners.pdf (a great guide! list some specific great foods as well as tips for good eating and sleeping)

(and if you're ever in doubt about eating, use the mantra Eat, Eat, EAT!)

Spirit Pack: If you would like anything from the Spirit Pack (nothing from this is required, just extra gear you may want), the order is due Sunday. Check out the previous post for info. And we invite anyone to buy stuff (athletes, family, friends)

Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts. We continue our SWEP phase this week - Speed With Endurance Process - with a focus on controlled speed of longer intervals. They are designed to tax the body like an XC race will and make your strong physically and mentally. Take a look at the workouts and see what is required of you for the level you have chosen.

This Week's Schedule: (this is our usual in-school schedule)

***An important note about races - those who miss practice will not be invited to attend races. It is very important to be at practice (not only for your own running, but to be part of the team). To emphasize this, those who miss their required practice(s) will not be racing. This includes most all reasons (such as work). Injured athletes should be to practice for drills and announcements and then go get treatment. Please try and make appointments around practice schedule. School work should be prioritized in that you aren't having to make up stuff after school in the first place. And coaches should be notified of all missed practices.***

Race Report:

Cedar All-Comers - Some solid stuff and some good things to build upon from our first full race of the year. We had a few Youngster run and it was great to see them pushing. Emmalee ran very well and won the girls race. Jack did an excellent job and was top 10 for the guys. For our HS ladies, we had Brook (4th), Adri (6th), and Brinley (10th) finish in the top 10. With Katie and Kate just behind, we earned a close victory over DH at 45 to 48 and outdistanced the rest of the field by a solid margin. A few other strong races came from Kennis, Brecken, Amelia, Laney, and Macy. It was great to see Elle patiently working her way back from injury and seeing Zoe and Sydney complete their first HS 3 mile race. The guys took 4th in the 8 team field. Trey ran a very gutsy race while pushing with the front pack. Our top finisher, he ended up in 7th. We had a lot of our younger guys stepping up and fill in some holes: Talmage ran strong throughout to be our 2nd; Kenny ran well; Kyler had his best race of his young career; Gianno, Bridger, Allen, Grant, Carson, Gaige, and Parker all were in close range and show we will have a strong group vying for varsity spots. And we also saw some strong races from our rookies: Wesley, Diego, Jamin, and Ben all pushed hard throughout. Overall a good experience to be back on the course. And now we all have some things to work on and continue to build upon.

Athletes of the Week:

Performance of the Week: Bridger J. (Fr.) - Bridger has really shown great potential through his hard work and early season time trial. He'll be mixing it up with the big boys soon.

Tough at Practice: Brianna U. (So.) - Brianna has consistently shown her desire to improve through her hard work and dedication. 

Team Builder: Porter C. (So.) - Porter has been bringing a positive attitude for himself and toward others as he pushes to meet his goals and help the team reach ours.

PVXC Thought of the Week: 
"There is no such thing as the pursuit of happiness, but there is the discovery of joy."
-Joyce Grenfell

"The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase. If you pursue happiness you'll never find it."

-C.P. Snow
I came across these quotes and it made me think about our Thoughtful Thursday a little bit. We talked about a few of the things that brought me joy from the race. It seems as if sometimes we get so caught up in trying to find joy (happiness) and that joy will come from reaching a goal, that we miss out on the real joy which is right in front of us everyday. There is nothing wrong with pushing for a big goal, but if we aren't enjoying the process - the small things, the effort, the team camaraderie, a funny joke at practice, having a successful hard workout, a crazy team night - if we aren't enjoying these things along the way, then there isn't a whole lot of point in only going for that big goal. So take some time each day and think about things that are bringing you joy that day in running and in all other aspects of your life. Then use that daily happiness to guide you to other big things. Remember a team theme we have used before, "Joy in the Journey"! :) 

Spirit Pack

Spirit Pack is ready to go!

This goes through a 3rd company (not PVHS, not the XC team). So take order questions to the info posted on the link. 

The order closes Sunday and we will only do one order.

Anyone can order: family, friends, athletes.

Nothing from the spirit pack is required (the jerseys are not the team XC uniforms... those will be ordered later).

Aug. 16-21 (Week 11)

Hopefully everyone had a great first few days of school. That start up of school and transition to more afternoon runs can take a lot out of you so here are some really important tips: SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP - everyone should be striving to be asleep by 10:00 (or earlier), the body needs that recovery time; DRINK - 100 oz of water a day, just do it; start CREATING A SCHEDULE THAT WORKS FOR YOU - figure out how you are going to manage study time, family time, activity time, work, along with all your XC commitments and create a schedule that works for you, maybe you study for 20 mins after morning practice instead of wasting time in the locker room, maybe you commit to doing your piano practice right when you get home from afternoon XC, whatever works and helps you fit everything in and get to bed at a good time.

Race Report:

Desert Relays - In our first race against another team, we once again did well at the Relays. It was great to have a hand-full of Youngsters come out and get the first loop in; you guys did great! The girls ran strong and were able to take home the win even though our numbers are quite a bit fewer than the DH. We had two plate winners: Brook on leg 1 and Adri on leg 3. Other notable performances were Brinley, Katie, and Amelia on leg 2, along with Kate's strong run on leg 1. Although the boys didn't come with any hardware, we still ran well and learned a few things about our team. A few of our top performers were Trey, Allen, and Diego who all put out great efforts on leg 2.

Youngsters can participate in the Cedar race on the 18th. Race starts at 5:30p at CHS.

PVXC Thought of the Week: 
"I am no longer being afraid of greatness! So what if I "fail"? That's not the end of it. Greatness comes from pushing your limits and strengthening your weaknesses. Why not do what it takes to be great regardless of how it feels...? I guess it's not for everyone."
-Jaylon Johnson
A pretty cool thought really. The biggest step to greatness is overcoming the fear of failure. And almost always we're our own harshest critics and are the only ones who really beat ourselves up if we "fail". Reality is, everyone else is looking at how brave we are for giving it our best shot. So if you want to truly become great, start setting aside that fear of failing and instead see how awesome it is to give it your very best shot.

Aug. 9-14 (Week 10)

The end of the summer and the start of school is always an interesting transition time in XC. We've had a great summer, ran a lot of miles, had a great camp, and really started to build an awesome team for the season. Now we mix things up and add school. But with that comes race season! With school starting on Thursday, our practice schedule will be a mix of summer and school year schedule. Take a look at the schedule and workouts to make sure you are where you need to be. We also have our first race against another team this week with the Desert Relays. This is a fun relay race to get the season going. We need everyone there and ready to do our best.

PVXC Thought of the Week: 
"It's not about impressive workouts. It's about stacking week after week, month after month, of good solid hard work. Give me months on end of solid consistent work over some lights-out workouts any day."
-Steve Magness
This quote kind of puts our summer all together and leads us into the school year. Although we are still looking for anyone who wants to join us, and we encourage each of you to go invite a couple of your friends and classmates to join us, a big chunk of the work of our season has already been started and will keep being built upon day after day for the next few months (and hopefully years and years). Running really is a building process where we can always keep growing upon the work we have put in. I think of this past week with this quote. Many of us were tired and worn down - it's been a long summer, it's hot, we were still tired from camp, it's hot, the air has been junk... - so I wasn't sure how the long run would go on Saturday. Then we go out and have maybe our best run of the season. That wasn't just one killer long run, that was the result of many, many hours of hard work throughout the summer (and even into past years). As we keep this whole process going, you'll find similar trends continue where there is good days and bad days, good races and bad races. No matter, trust the process and find joy in the journey we are taking and the days, weeks, months, and years of miles will add up to great growth and achievement. 

Aug. 2-7 (Week 9)

What a great week at camp. We really missed those who weren't able to make it. Thanks to all those who helped make it happen: parents who drove, camp help, and the captains and the committee. Now the thing is to keep the feelings, attitudes, and ideas of camp growing throughout the season (and beyond). Revisit some of the ideas from camp while they are fresh in your mind and remind yourself of the camaraderie and friendships that were grown and the commitments you made to your teammates and yourself often throughout the year.

• take a look at the 2021 schedule - there have been two important changes... 1) the TIME TRIAL planned for this Monday has been MOVED TO TUESDAY. 2) Cedar All-Comers has been moved from Thursday the 19th to Wednesday the 18th (start time 6:00p)

They are designed to tax the body like an XC race will and make your strong physically and mentally.

PVXC Thought of the Week: 
"Too many kids have been taught that the goal of HS sports is to achieve an athletic scholarship - here's the truth: the goal of HS sports is to learn how to be a better person, better teammate, better communicator and to enjoy being a teenager... something you can't get back."
-Andrew Kurzawski
This seems to fit pretty well after the week (and summer) we just had. We have seen so much growth in our team and with so many of you individually this past week and summer. We're going to do pretty well running... and we're going to do our best to have "success" in our races. But all that really is a byproduct of the hard work, commitment, fun and positive attitudes, and growth of being a better person, teammate, and leader that comes with being a part of (as Carson Horspool is so fond of saying) "the greatest team in the world!"

Dalton Rector, Jr. - Dalton is new to our team this year and has brought a great example of determination and hard work to the team this summer.

Race Recap:

24th 2 Miler - Good strong runs from everyone who participated in our 24th 2 Miler. Most of you saw good improvements from last year and times that show continued improvement throughout the summer. Zach paced the boys with a strong run and a new course record. Trey wasn't far behind and ran the 3rd fastest time on the course. Overall it was the 2nd fastest time for the boys scorers at this race. For the girls, Adri tied Jessica Hill for the 2nd best time (just 1 sec off of Brinley's record last year). Brinley was just behind Adri and became the first girl to break 12 twice. Brianna ran very strong to place 4th for the girls whose 5 scorer average was just over 2 seconds/runner off of last year's team record. Full results on athletic.net

PVXC Thought of the Week: 
"Great leaders inflate the people around the. Poor leaders deflate the people around them."
-Rick Pitino
Many of us have noticed the significant positive change of attitude and environment around our team this summer. So much of that positive environment is coming from all of you who are acting as leaders and uplifting and inflating everyone around you. Everyone keep bringing that positive energy and keep looking to bring up others! 

Summer Club Finishes Up

PVXC Thought of the Week: 
"But it wasn't a miracle. It was the group effect."
-Matt Fitzgerald
Describing one of America's greatest distance running accomplishments. If this section doesn't give you chills, you're doing the wrong thing! Read it, mark it up, have comments on how this connects to what we are trying to do.

July 5-17 (Week 5 & 6)

Great efforts from so many these past couple weeks. We were able to recognize our first set of Athletes of the Week (more below); take a look at those who have been earning this recognition and notice the similar characteristics of dedication, commitment, and pushing toward new goals. These teammates are great examples of what we can all do. We'll include the next two weeks in this post. This week is Commitment Week. It is the state moratorium, so coaches can't be at practice. The team has decided to have captain led practice. Those that are in town, be there. If you're out of town (just like anytime), get your runs in as best you can. We have a lot of events coming up soon, so take a look at everything on the blog.

• take a look at the 2021 schedule. There have been a couple changes: Border Wars (Sept 24 - varsity trip) and time has been updated for PreState Meet
• registermyathlete - registration has got to be done tonight if you haven't yet! Go to registermyathlete.com - physical needs to be complete and on file at PVHS before camp.

Week 5 is actually a recovery week with no minute growth (or even a small decrease) to help the body and mind respond to the first month of the season. Week 6 sees a continuance of growth with more minutes and doubles for some of the team. Both weeks, we will use our Baseline test to get into some Pace work. Paces are posted on the workout spreadsheet (refer back to Week 4); know yours for Monday.

Book Club:
No book club this Wednesday; we will discuss the readings for the next two weeks on July 13th. So keep reading along.

Athletes of the Week:

Carson, So. - Carson's commitment to the team has resulted in tremendous individual growth. He's a great worker and brings a great attitude to the team.

Parker, So. - Parker's great attitude and hard work have really started to pay off with big improvements so far this season.

Kenny, Jr. - It's been great to have Kenny back with the team. His presence has immediately been felt this summer through his hard work and positive attitude.

Brecken, So. - Brecken is another athlete who we've missed (because of another spring sport). Her progress through last year and this summer has been amazing. She's running great and is an excellent contributor to the team.

Laney, So. - Laney's commitment to her improvement hasn't gone unnoticed. She has taken tremendous strides of improvement by deciding to push with the group above her at every possible time.

Brinley, Sr. - Brin's is running excellently, but just as important is her senior leadership that she is bringing to the team. No one works harder and expects the same from her teammates.

PVXC Thought of the Week: 
"It's what you do when no one is watching that separates a champion from everyone else."
-unknown
A little diversion from our book quotes this week. But rather, a nod to our Commitment Week. Many of you have already proven you have truly bought into the program and into your self; you are at practice every day you can, you're on time, you get your full runs in, do you weights and drills well, and so on. Others fall at other levels of this commitment scale. This coming week, where there are no coaches and you are really accountable to yourself and your teammates will really show where you want to be and what you want to accomplish individually and a team. Those who are doing great... keep being the example. Those who are struggling in some areas... now's the time to step up. When you're in town... be to practice. When you're out of town... get your runs in. We've had a truly great start to the season and many very good things are happening. Let's take it to another level with your own individual commitment to team and self this week!

June 28-July 3 (Week 4)

This summer is zooming and our team growth has been exceptional. We are really setting ourselves up for great things this year. Let's take a look at how we are doing on the little things (reading, recording minutes, weights, recovery) and refocus on them knowing that each thing we do is a piece of the puzzle we want to put together for a successful season.

PVXC Thought of the Week: 
?
-Matt Fitzgerald
This week it is going to be the thought that you bring to the book discussion on Wednesday. Each of you will be asked to share (at least) one idea from this week's reading that was impactful to you. You have a few days to read and find something... so get to it.

June 21-26 (Week 3)

Another week down... before you know it the summer will be over, school will be starting, and we'll be racing. Not saying that to bum you out, but just remind you that time goes quick and NOW is the time to be preparing for a successful xc season. You don't set PRs or make Varsity or win titles in the summer, but NOW is the time you prepare the body and mind to do so!

If you haven't yet:

• take a look at the 2021 schedule and start making some plans.
• registermyathlete - registration has got to be done tonight if you haven't yet! Go to registermyathlete.com - physical needs to be complete and on file at PVHS before camp.
  Fees can be completed later.
• One last week of these videos for our weights. Take a look at the slide for the Panther Distance Crew Weight Program - each has a video linked to it to help you learn the correct form. Watch these and get a sense of what you would like to do for our first days in the weight room this week.

Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts. We'll be doing a "baseline" test on Monday, so please be there. Nothing to stress about, but helps us figure out our paces for workouts for the next month. If you are out of town, you can replicate it by running hard as you can for 15mins and recording (and reporting to Coach) the distance you cover - it would be best to do it on grass, but road or track is fine if you can't.

This Week's Schedule:
This week, we'll keep having practice at Washington Elementary Monday through Thursday this week at 7:00a. We will meet at Confluence Park by the Dixie Center at 7a on Friday. Saturday will be a run in your own organized groups run.. Weights on Tuesdays and Thursdays after our run, we will go (as a team) over to PVHS and spend 30mins in the weight room going through our routing (please do your best to build this into your schedule).

Monday: regular practice at 7:00a Washington Elem. (everyone) 

Tuesday: regular practice at 7:00a Washington Elem. (everyone) - Youth Summer Running Club 8:30-9:45 (everyone) - Weights after Summer Club (everyone) - Team Goal Setting BBQ and swim at Coach Holt's house at 5:00p, please be there if you're in town!

Weekly Challenge:
Look at your first two weeks and decide what you've been doing well at and what you could refocus/recommit on. Be ready to share this with your teammates on Monday.

Minutes:
Fill out this form for our 2nd week of practice. This is how we will earn our minutes awards for the season as well as tracking goals and progress.

Book Club:
We will be talking about Week 2 on Wednesday and then getting the reading for Week 3.

PVXC Thought of the Week: 
"When athletes really want it, they are able to tolerate a higher level of percieved effort than when they are comparatively unmotivated."
-Matt Fitzgerald
Do you think this is true? Have you ever experienced it? Have you ever been able to "get up" for a race and run well compared to a race that maybe wasn't as important and you didn't do as well? What about in other aspects of your life... have you ever done something a really well when it was really important to you? Then how do you explain the times we don't do as well when it is a big event? How do you explain Jenny Barringer-Simpson's race described in the book? Think about those ideas and have some thought about them and the other points made in this week's reading for our book discussion on Wednesday.

June 14-19 (Week 2)

One week down already... It was really great to be back together with the team and seeing all the new faces as well. This is going to be a very exciting year. Let's keep the positive vibes going everyday this week.

If you haven't yet:

• take a look at the 2021 schedule and start making some plans.
• registermyathlete - get it done! Go to registermyathlete.com (the registration part needs to be done this week - physical needs to be complete and on file at PVHS asap.
  Fees can be completed later.
• We will be doing the lunge matrix, leg swings and SAMs daily. These are great strengthening exercises that will help you get and stay healthy and injury free. So take a look at the videos and learn them.
• Lunge Matrix video
• Leg Swings video
• SAM video
• We are changing things up a little for our weight program this year. Take a look at the slide for the Panther Distance Crew Weight Program - each has a video linked to it to help you learn the correct form. Watch these and get a sense of what you would like to do for our first days in the weight room this week.

Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts. We've changed up the week just a little. We will delay our Baseline test (probably just one week) because last year we were coming off Covid where most everyone had been running for a few weeks before practice; this year we are just coming off our two weeks off and could use a little more time to keep building. Overall our goal is still building our foundation.

This Week's Schedule:
This week, we'll keep having practice at Washington Elementary Monday through Thursday this week at 7:00a. We will meet at Middleton Park at 7a on Friday. Saturday we will also meet at Sullivan to run on the grass at 7:00a. Weights on Tuesdays and Thursdays after our run, we will go (as a team) over to PVHS and spend 30mins in the weight room going through our routing (please do your best to build this into your schedule).

Monday: regular practice at 7:00a Washington Elem. (everyone)

Tuesday: regular practice at 7:00a Washington Elem. (everyone) - Youth Summer Running Club 8:30-9:45 (everyone) - Weights after Summer Club (everyone)

Wednesday: regular practice at 7:00a Washington Elem. (everyone) - Book Club after the run - Team Activity at the Boiler's Park 5:00p

Thursday: regular practice at 7:00a Washington Elem. (everyone) - Weights (everyone)

Friday: regular practice at 7:00a Middleton Park. (everyone)

Saturday: regular practice at 7:00a Sullivan Park. (everyone)

Weekly Challenge:
Our first challenge was to get someone to come to practice or the team activity with you. Some of you did well at that... others, maybe not. Let's keep that one going all the time! For this week, our challenge is going to be to do your Week 1 reading. Reading and participating in the book club can/will be such a beneficial thing for you. We promise it will not only make you a better runner, but will contribute to improvements in all aspects of your life. Like everything, you're going to get out of it what you put into it.

Shoes... Shoes... and more Shoes...: We don't have a lot of equipment in running, but what we do have is very important - shoes. Parents and athletes take a look at this short guide to running shoes and when to replace them. There's a lot of places you can get new shoes (specialty store, online, etc.); however, the key is to get a right fit for your particular foot, not necessarily just the cheapest. A specialty story will help fit you to the correct shoe. You can also get some help from Coach Decker and Holt who have some experience in identifying various foot types and get you in the correct type of shoe (neutral, cushion, support, stability).

Minutes:
Fill out this form for our first week of practice. This is how we will earn our minutes awards for the season as well as tracking goals and progress.

Book Club:
We will be talking about Week 1 on Wednesday and then getting the reading for Week 2. Here's a little clip of one of the sections that book talks about (watch it... it's pretty amazing!). 

PVXC Thought of the Week: 
"There are two ways to win a race. You can win by bringing greater physical capacity to the race, or you can win by utilizing a greater portion of a slightly lesser physical capacity within the race.
-Matt Fitzgerald
Like we will do all summer, this quote is taken from our Week 1 reading section of "How Bad Do You Want It?" Let's go beyond the "win" a race idea and put that to "do your very best" in a race because, truthfully, not a lot of us get to win races (I've lost way more races than I've won, but I've done my very best in many races. Then that doing of my "best" opened the door for me to do a new "best" in future races.). So thinking of this quote, some people do very well because they really are just better. However, we want to get to the second part of the quote, where we can do our best because we are improving on utilizing a greater portion of physical capacity - even if it isn't as amazing as the most talented runner. The reality is, I could probably count on one hand the number of truly talented runners we've had on the team in the past 2 decades. How then have we had numerous All-Region and All-State runners, State Champions and State Championship teams? How have we become the most decorated program at Pine View HS and one of the most awarded programs in Utah history? The answer lies in the getting the greater portion out of everyone of us. Think about this idea a bit, connect it with what you've read (or are going to read!) from the intro and Ch. 1 of this week's reading, connect it with you're own running and why you are out here doing this difficult thing. And then come Wednesday ready to talk about it for a few minutes.

XC Starts Monday! June 7-12 (Week 1)

Excitement is in the air! Practice will start for high school (incoming 9th graders through 12 graders) XC on June 7th at Washington Elementary at 7:00a!

Youth Summer Running Club is back and will also be starting this week on Tuesday! Check out the info on the previous post and please share it around with families and others who might be interested in participating in our summer club. It's never too late to sign up and join us.

Things you need to do to be ready for practice:

• take a look at the 2021 schedule and start making some plans.
• registermyathlete - get it done! Go to registermyathlete.com (the registration part needs to be done this week - physical needs to be complete and on file at PVHS asap.
  Fees can be completed later.
• We will be doing the lunge matrix, leg swings and SAMs daily. These are great strengthening exercises that will help you get and stay healthy and injury free. So take a look at the videos and learn them.
• Lunge Matrix video
• Leg Swings video
• SAM video
• Now about this stuff, why do them? No doubt, some of us who know this stuff realize the benefits of these exercises and others aren't so sure about them. Like everything in life, you won't really do a great job with them until YOU buy in. So until you start to realize the benefits of these exercises, maybe you'll just take my word for it - these will help you be stronger; a stronger runner is a healthier runner; a healthier runner is a faster runner...

Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts. The goal of this week is to just get us going a bit. We'll start building our foundation and prepping us for an exciting, successful, and injury-free year.

This Week's Schedule:
This week, we'll keep having practice at Washington Elementary Monday through Thursday this week at 7:00a. We will meet at Sullivan Park at 7a on Friday. Saturday we will also meet at Sullivan to run on the grass, time TBA. No weights this week, but we will jump right into those next week on Tuesdays and Thursdays after our run, we will go (as a team) over to PVHS and spend 30mins in the weight room going through our routing (please do your best to build this into your schedule).

Monday: regular practice at 7:00a Washington Elem. (everyone) - get summer reading Week 1.

Tuesday: regular practice at 7:00a Washington Elem. (everyone) - Youth Summer Running Club 8:30-9:45 (everyone)

Also...

There is this Summer Mile Club put together by Hoka and Athletic.net. Might be a way to earn some prizes and stuff this summer by just doing the thing we are always doing - running! Check it out and see if you want to participate.

Minutes:
Take a look at this form. This is how we will earn our minutes awards for the season as well as tracking goals and progress. You'll fill out your first week info at the end of this week.

Book Club:
We will be getting the first section of our book on Monday. We highly encourage you to take a few minutes each day and read and reflect on the assigned reading for the week. We promise that doing so will help you become a better runner as well as influence you in positive ways in other areas of your life.

PVXC Thought of the Week: 
"I came away from this experience having learned a fundamental truth about endurance sorts. While my legs and lungs had put in a position to win, it was my mind - particularly my ability to absorb the shock of the novel sensations I felt and my willingness to suffer a bit for the sake of winning - that had carried me over the top. The essential challenge of long-distance racing, I understood, was mental."
-Matt Fitzgerald
This is our first quote from our book this summer. We've really enjoyed reading this book and think you will too - especially as you search for the connections found in the stories to your own running and life. The big idea of the book is no secret... anyone can run, you just put one leg in front of the other; however, the real challenge, the thing that separates those who achieve goals, PRs, make Varsity teams, and beyond, is learning how to make the mental side of this activity work in your favor to unlock your true potential. A goal this year is to help you do that!
