August Training

Thank you all for coming to bootcamp last week! We had some great runs together, and it was a wonderful way to start the season. Below you will find the August training schedule. Right now, our goals as a team are to work on our general endurance, speed, and strength to finish building our summer base. Stretching, strengthening, eating well, and getting 8-9hrs of sleep each night are key to success! Start getting back into your school routine with bed and wake-up times; this way August 19 won't come as such a shock!
