Long Run Saturday, September 6

Woohoo! A break in the heat is coming. The weather forecast is for a low of 58 degrees and a high of 75 degrees on Saturday. We have a new course for you in Olathe. This is Amy Stucky's first time designing and flagging a course and she has worked hard so BE NICE! We will be set up for 10 miles as this is a recovery weekend.

Meet at the Olathe Hyvee at 7:00 a.m. 119th and Ridgeview. 

Tuesday Intervals

Rain or shine, it's time to get our speed on!

Meet at Roe Park, Tuesday, Sept. 2 at 6:00 PM. We will start with a warm-up, explosive drills and mix run specific strengthening with intervals. Bring your own water or sport drink. Water fountains are available at the park. 

RSVP by Monday at kcrunning@hotmail.com. 

Saturday Long Run Update

Tyler, Allison P., Kevin and Pat @ Blackbob Park

We've heard from you! Thanks for the RSVP's. As a result, our course distance is changing to 16 miles. Temps are expected to be considerably better, but still on the high side so be sure to hydrate throughout the day on Friday. See you Saturday at 6:30 AM.

Saturday Long Run August 30th

We know that many of you are zipping out of town on Friday for a last summer hurrah over the three day weekend. If you are staying in town and joining us for the run on Saturday morning, RSVP with your planned distance by Friday morning. We have an 18-mile course in the works, but may alter it based on your responses. Run starts at 6:30 a.m. at CVS 95th and Nall.

Hill Repeats Cancelled

Sorry to report that the heat wave continues to bake us here in KC! The effective temperature is 99 and head index is 105. We will put off hills for another day. If you've participated in hill work with PB before, we recommend you incorporate four good hill repeats about .25 miles (a quarter of a mile) in length and a similar grade to our Nall hill into a morning run this week.

The good news is that temps are to return to normal next week so we should be on for regularly scheduled speed work as we go forward.

PB Podium

PBers PR! Both Kim and Jami, despite heat and illness, both PR'd at Head for the Cure this weekend. Jami shaved 1:33 off his 5K from last year and Kim took 1:01 off of her time. Way to go!
