champions do extra

NOTE:  MEET THIS WEEK FOR PRACTICE EVERY DAY IN THE BROCK

In "Legacy - 15 Lessons in Leadership", James Kerr examines the team culture of the All Blacks, New Zealand world-renowned national rugby team.  In Chapter XI, Kerr says "champions do extra."  He continues, "There are no crowds lining the extra mile... on the extra mile we are on our own. Just us and the road, just us and the blank sheet of paper, just us and the challenge we have set for ourselves."

mitochondrial monday

It has been mentioned that the gods of Aerobic Endurance do not play by NCAA rules ... they WILL extract big penalties for continued time off.  And they will do this with the mighty mitochondria, better known as the powerhouses of the cell.  Through aerobic training we increase both the number and the size of the mitochondria, and this development is extraordinarily important in your success as a runner. In a study by Dr Olbrecht, it was found that "half the increase in mitochondria from five weeks of training may be lost in one week of de-training (time off)".  Keep this in mind as you maneuver days off.  Ultimately, those days are yours to decide what to do or not to do.  While rest and recovery are very important, prolonged time off is the enemy of the endurance athlete!

For all others, down time for some, return to light running and workouts for others.   Determine what you feel you need.  Communicate with coaches if needed.  Everyone should, at a minimum, continue some mobility work and stretching.

The Teamworks calendars should be up-to-date.  Refer to your calendar to know whether you have practice or whether you have an "additional day off".  If something seems incorrect to you, please contact us.
