Trainer Tip of the Week:

Top 10 Mistakes in Training

10. Underestimate Stretching

9. Lack of Support

8. Lack of Belief

7. Motivation

6. Wrong Goal

5. Wrong Training Program

4. Starting Too Fast

3. Lack of Knowledge

2. Hydration

1. Injury

I think we are doing a good job avoiding most of these mistakes.  I want to touch on a few:

#8 Lack of Belief...this can be a difficult one.  Just look at your progress over the past 4 weeks.  You have each improved so much.  Believe in yourself...you really can do it!

#4  Starting too Fast...don't overdo it!  Try to stay within the homework given.  On your "long run" day, resist the temptation to "go the extra mile".  There are reasons that you are gradually increasing your distance.  

#2  Hydration...water, water, water!!  Don't forget to drink during your run AND after! 

Keep up the good work!!
