holiday2024.1

Hoping everyone gets some rest with finals over!  Training goals for the holiday break are to be consistent with your running, recovery, nutrition, and sleep; and to complete each day's training as listed below.  Each day's training includes more than just the running component!  As always, make sure you understand everything and if needed, reach out with questions.
