THursday Morning Track Practice is Cancelled!
The winter of 2017 – 2018 has been very kind so far to the TMBC, with no canceled workouts and snow on only a couple of occasions. While Coach Big Guy may be running in 72 degree weather in Austin, Coach Rich reports snow is still falling in Arlington, and even with a shovel brigade, snow melt will probably create dangerous icy conditions on either Yorktown or W&L tracks tomorrow morning. Since all but the Boston crew are in long-training mode, and sine the Boston-Bound need to be very careful this close to the race, we are reluctantly cancelling tomorrow’s workout.
Instead, we are urging everyone to consider a stretching workout, focusing on core exercise in the comfort of your homes. Here are some good core exercises to try: http://www.runnersblueprint.com/core-exercises-every-runner-should-do/. While we runners get a lot of good exercise on many muscles, we often neglect our cores – which are so very important to runners, particularly as they age. Try some of these out!
Here is this week’s Coach Rich News:
Admiral Paul Ryan ran fabulously in several events at the US National Masters Championships and then did a shake out on Sunday winning his Age Group at the Burke Lake race. Huge congrats to Paul!!!
a. In the 3000m – 12:07, PR and 3rd American
b. In the 1500m – 5:39, 3rd American
c. In the 4 x 800m Relay – Gold Medal team. Paul was 3rd leg 50m back when he received the baton. Closed the gap and took the lead to give to the anchor leg!
d. Finally, in the 4 x 200m – 3rd
