Clinic e-mail

For the running group:

Good Monday morning everyone,

I wanted to make sure I sent this note out early this week because we are slightly revamping our schedule. What everyone who was at last week's clinic will already know is, Tuesday night's post-clinic run will be our first speed session and since I won't be able to do the workout with you on Wednesday, we thought it would be better to have the group do it together on tomorrow. And Wednesday, anyone showing up for the group run will just do the 5K we would have done on Tuesday. Sound confusing enough for Monday morning? Perfect.

So hopefully we'll be able to get a good crowd for the speed session. For anyone who has never done tempo or fartlek training before it will be an important clinic to attend. And even if you have tried speed work, it's always good to get a refresher. We'll get more into the details tomorrow, but speed workouts although they sound as daunting as I'm sure hill repeats did a few weeks ago is a great way to improve your overall running. Remember, these workouts are at the top of our training "house."

Just so everyone knows, there is a Fredericton 5K/10K coming up in a few weeks. Details can be found at the Running Room and I believe you will be able to register on-line shortly.

And for your weekly dose of running inspiration, here is another quote from the most quotable runner of all time.

"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement." -- Steve Prefontaine
