This week we have moratorium all week which means we cannot have an organized practice together. This doesn't mean that you should take the week off and do nothing. You should still run 6 days this week and keep increasing your mileage. We've been training for 3 weeks now and we should slowly work our miles up about 5-10% a week (Example if I ran 20 miles last week I should increase my mileage to about 22 this week). Feel free to message other runners on the team and meet up to do group runs if you would like to, it's always easier to run with people.
This past Friday we had a team time trial for those who were there and it went very well. I am looking forward to seeing the progress we make as a team. Now we have a little bit of a reference point as to where we are at and can see our progress throughout the summer and into the season. We had a little breakfast afterwards and plan to do a bigger pancake breakfast in the future. There was some issues reserving the pavillion at Forbush park so we will make sure that isn't an issue in the future so we can have some awesome breakfasts.
This week is the 4th of July and as such there are a lot of 5k races out there that would be great to register and race. Please upload your runs onto Strava. Some of you do a really good job with that and some of you need to work on that so please upload all of your runs on Strava. Last thing, thank you to the 42 of you who have paid your $40 summer fee. If you haven't done so please go to the main office at Farmington High school or you can call Sue Spencer (head secretary) on the phone and take care of it that way. Thanks.
Let's have another great week of training and happy 4th of July on Wednesday. I will see you all on Monday the 9th.
