Check out our WORLD PREMIERE MUSIC VIDEO above…All that work is starting to pay off! Running is starting to look a lot easier and there’s a real sense of accomplishment as we start to finish off runs with NO WALKING! I promise you that, if you stick with the program, it will get easier and easier still…We’re less than a month from our first meet and we all want to get on the starting line knowing that we did everything we could to be there! The week ahead will look very familiar as we continue to lay our distance base and build endurance strength…
Monday- Central Park @ 6pm
Distance night! Gremlins will shoot for 20 minutes of continuous running…Groups 1, 2 and 3 will increase to 26/40/53 minutes…We’ll follow up the run with our strength drills!
Wednesday- COC @ 6pm
Sub-Killer Hill! We’ll add one more repetition to each group…The hill is where rockstars are made! Let’s “DO WORK!”
Thursday- Heritage Park @ 6pm
With the COC Summer Series behind us we’ll be back to normal team size on Thursday night…This will be another distance night with Core strength drills to follow…
Saturday- Bridgeport Park @ 8am
Another distance run…I promise we’ll change up the course this weekend…How about a lake run? We’ll follow up the run with a full set of strength drills…
