RRKC is going to Melody's new stomping grounds in Fort Collins CO this May for the Colorado Half and Full marathon! The race is May 6th. Details and registration for the race HERE. Coach Amy will not be attending this one due to a family wedding. RRKC long group runs will be organized around training for this race as well as several local spring races. RRKC speed workouts will address strength and technique needed for running downhill as both courses are a net downhill.  If you would like a personalized training program for this race, you should contact Coach Amy ASAP at info@roadrunnerskc.com.

Yay!!! Thank you to Mo and Jen! They have offered to lead some FREE (bare bones) 10 mile RRKC group runs from First Watch at 95th and Metcalf in December at 7:00 AM. Dates below. 

Please be aware there will be no coaching, no sign in sheet and no aid stations at home base. Bring your own sport drink or water for before/after the run. The run leads will be there at the start, but they may not be able to stay for all runners to finish.

RSVP the run lead at least one day in advance of a run so they can print off a map for you and  notify you if a run is cancelled. Runs will not be held if conditions are icy, there is excessive snow, or an effective temp below 0 degrees. 

We NEED volunteers to put out a gallon jug of water and some cups at mile 2 and 4. Please email the run lead ASAP if you are able to help on that day. 

Dec 2: RSVP to jayhawkmo@yahoo.com

Dec 9th and 16th: RSVP to  jenniferkatheiser@kc.rr.com

Take care of yourself during the off-season with a little active recovery through yoga! Registered dietitian and yoga teacher, Karlee Golightly, will lead three 60-minute classes to help you restore and prepare for your upcoming season. Each class in this 3-week series will promote flexibility, relaxation, and functionality of movement in your sport. While no class will be exactly the same, each will focus on your tight spots through the hips, low back, and shoulders. Space is limited! 

Mondays at 6:00 PM Nov. 27th, Dec 4th and 11th at CoachAmyPT clinic.
