Summer 2008 - week ten

Week ten, last week of phase one on your annual training plan. After a recovery week last week, it's time to kick the intensity back up this week. Your mileage total this week is just slightly lower than last week so let's focus on a little more intensity this week.

*And don't forget to send in your week nine running totals!

A good number of you have already sent in your week nine results. Sounds like is was certainly time for a recovery week as most report feeling a bit sluggish throughout the week, but feeling better by week's end. Also, some injuries, hopefully minor, seem to be popping up. So make sure you're doing a good job with stretching, icing, etc. (and backing off for a few days if needed)

Lastly, it's very hot and humid now. I know, newsflash, right! Take care, be smart, hydrate before, hydrate after, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!

See you in two weeks!
