7th Heaven!!

We are cruisin'  right along.  7 miles this week...we are really getting up there.  Here is the homework this week:

RUNNERS

Wednesday Run 7 Miles
Thursday Stretch and Strengthen
Friday Run 4.5 Miles
Saturday Run 3 Miles or Crosstrain
Sunday Rest
Monday Run 4.5 Miles PLUS Strength Train
Tuesday 50 Minute Cross


WALKERS:

Wednesday Walk 7 Miles
Thursday 45 Minute Walk
Friday 1 Hour Walk
Saturday 45 Minute Walk PLUS Strength
Sunday Rest
Monday 1 Hour Walk
Tuesday Rest


Please make yourselves aware of the route we are going to do this week.  We are doing what I call the "Isabel Trail".  Here are the directions:

From my house go to the end of the street (like we were going to Sycamore Grove) follow it around to the right.  Turn right on Lexington.  Turn Left on Trinity Hills.  Turn right on Woodhollow.  Turn left on Alden Lane.  Follow this to the dead end.  Just before you reach Isabel Avenue turn right onto the trail.  Follow this trail to the stop sign at Stanley Blvd.  Turn around and come back.  Once on Alden Lane, follow it to Holmes where you will turn right. Keep there until you reach Wetmore (which is where we come back from Sycamore Grove) and follow the sidewalk around to my house.  

We will do the same workout this week and next week.  We will not meet as a group next week as it is spring break.  Be sure to do the workout so we can stay on track.  

TRAINER TIP:

From here on out, I want you to stick to the homework as I assign it.  I don't want you to try to push it any harder than you are used to.  We are reaching the distances that can cause injury due to overuse!  That is the last thing we want to deal with!  

DONT forget to keep hydrated.  

DO eat something small before your "big" workouts. Even if you aren't in the mood to eat, you need  to fuel your body.  A small handful of nuts, half of a bagel, a string cheese, etc. are good ideas.  

DONT forget to stretch especially now that we are getting into these higher mileage workouts.  


I am really proud of all of you!  Keep up the good work!!
