We have an early start and a loooong run! We will be set up for 22 miles at Shawnee Mission North High School. Start time is 6:30 AM. Those scheduled for 22, your goal is to complete this one, uninjured and feeling the good kind of fatigue at the end. Those last two miles are primarily for exercising your mental muscle. Those running shorter, your goal is to run the mid 50% at goal pace.
One of the best ways to recovery from a long run is to do a little walking later in the day. Our very own Jen Katheiser will be showing some of her artistic talent at the Hallmarket event at Crown Center on Saturday. What a good opportunity to walk out the kinks and support our RRKC family. For details about Hallmarket click here.
Meet at our hill at 6:00 PM. Bring water and your determination! You will leave stronger mentally and physically. Let's Go!
Enjoy a down weekend this weekend as we recover from our recent build. Amy Stucky will be setting up her awesome 10 mile course in Olathe which includes a beautiful paved trail and a jaunt past the Mahaffie Farmstead. We will meet at the Olathe Hyvee. Run starts at 7:00 AM. Your goal is to run clean at goal race pace. Be there!
At some point in training, usually in the middle, we can lose a little of our focus and begin questioning ourselves. "Why did I sign up for this race again?" Doubt may creep in, "Can I really run a marathon?" I assure you, if you are doing the training, you will be able to complete your race!
Sometimes a feel good sports story, especially one that is based on true events, can give you a a boost of inspiration to keep you going. Here is the trailer for McFarland USA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74eJaVQFybI. Miles highly recommends this flick! You can stream from Netflix or Amazon or rent it from redbox.
Go team RRKC! You CAN do it!
Intervals Tuesday at Franklin Park. Meet at 6:00 PM!
