Run Clinic Success!

Run Clinic March 2017
Coach Amy presented Running Form Head to Toe Techniques for Efficiency and Injury Prevention to the local endurance athlete community last weekend. Participants practiced various techniques and we are hearing amazing results from them a week later. Three have reported back with decreases in pace at 1 min/mile faster. Josie said, "Just completed my first run since the clinic...I reviewed my notes and recited 'rock the baby, rock the baby' over and over...I just knocked out my fastest and more importantly comfortable mile...Garmin even told me 1 new record (fastest mile) and new VO2 max detected. Which means...You [Coach Amy] rocked my baby!"

Training Plans are Written in PENCIL
/
In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable - Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Training plans are important BUT they are just that - they are plans only; they are written in pencil and you and your coach have the eraser. Life happens. Athletes have families, friends and careers; they get illnesses and injuries from time to time. Plans are just a starting point - they are flexible, adaptable, moldable. The idea is to get to the finish line with as much preparation as you can and there are hundreds of ways to do that! So, for successful training and outcomes, be willing to erase, tweak, move, juggle, pivot and twist out of the mold.
