PB Update

/

We are meeting at Shawnee Mission North High School this Saturday. Start time is 6:30 a.m. Dynamic stretching starts at 6:15 a.m. The course will be set up for 18 miles.

Did you know that static stretching decreases efficiency and power with running? Learn when and how to properly stretch to avoid injury and improve performance at the last of our series of clinics for this session: Stretching for Runners. Join us at Sport+Spine this Sunday 6:45 p.m. Wear comfortable clothing. Join us for functional strength training at 5:30 prior to the clinic. Free for first timers!

Please RSVP for clinic and class kcrunning@hotmail.com

Recovery Schedules are UP!

/

Recovery following a race is a must. Rule of thumb is one day of relative rest for every mile you raced. That doesn't mean lay on the couch for 13-26 days. For details on what do do, go to Members Only > Training Schedules. Your password is listed in your packet. There is a schedule for a half and one for a full. If you are planning more then one race per session and need modifications, please contact Coach Amy at kcrunning@hotmail.com 

Runner's 101 this Sunday

Runner’s 101
This clinic is great for those relatively new to the sport of distance running and seasoned runners that think they know everything. Experienced runners may be surprised about current trends in training based on the latest research. If you are new to Personal Best or you've never attended Amy's 101, it is highly recommended.   

 6:45 p.m. this Sunday at Sport+Spine. Join us for a free trial of Amy's Sunday strength training class prior to the clinic at 5:30 p.m. Please RSVP for clinic and class at kcrunning@hotmail.com

Wednesday, February 6th at 6:00 p.m. Meet at Metro Walk and Run. Pace is easy. Run 20 minutes out and back. Distance covered will depend on your pace. Run will start promptly at 6:15 p.m.

All this fun will conclude at Red Robin for yummy treats and warm drinks!

Bring a stopwatch or Garmin, your questions for Caleb, your WALLET and most importantly your expectation for FUN.
