championships up next ... champions do extra

We still have several who have not done this, so please TEXT US YOUR THOUGHTS FOR FULL VOLUME WEEKLY MILEAGE FOR NEXT YEAR.

For those of you that have and are on the training schedule, week two should look like 4-6 light runs totaling 50% of your full volume week.  Add some short hill repeats or strides on Thursday.

Reminder...first, increase the frequency of running... second, increase the duration of runs... and third, increase the intensity of runs.  So early on, run more often.  Run twice a day more often.  Then, increase the durations of those runs.  Continue with stretching, foam-rolling, mobility, leg swings, etc.

Don't be afraid of the heat and humidity.  Just slow down and run easy.  Adjust pace up to 30-45 seconds per mile slower than normal pace.

For those looking to add something this summer, watch this video and work on drills once or twice a week...

28 miles last week + some swim/bike/light lift sessions. Starting internship this week, so trying to figure out my routine so I can fit all the mileage and x-training in. Taking it easy and slowly building this summer.

I cannot wait to see how Jaegar and Gibson perform at NCAA's in TX I know they are more than ready to compete against the best of the best:) I got to attend the NIL Summit in Atlanta, Ga this weekend to represent GT Athletics/ GT Track. It was an amazing experience to learn and take advice from so many well-rounded collegiate and pro athletes.
