PB Update

/

Brrrrrrr. Bundle up. Saturday's run will be cold! Layer, layer, layer. Dick's has hand/foot warmers - a good tool to keep the digits from freezing. A reminder, please check the website or Twitter for last minute changes. If the effective temperature with windchill is below zero or if the course conditions are poor, our run will be cancelled. We will try to have an update at least one hour prior to the start of the run.

If weather cooperates, we will be set up for 10 miles at SMNHS with a start time of 7:00 a.m. We are planning on a group breakfast at 8:45 a.m. at RJ's in Overland Park. Please RSVP by Friday afternoon so we can give RJ's a heads up on the size of our party! We hope you can join us.

Rock the Parkway and Garmin runners, according to the schedule, you should have started speed work. Please contact Coach Amy if you have questions. Group speed sessions begin March 6th!

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!

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
