Thresh at FDR

Nice workout on the dirt (Cator) loop at FDR today. Everyone looked relaxed and in control for the 4x5 minutes/1 minute recovery tempo/threshold workout, followed by 2x1 minute extended stride.

I liked that you guys ran in packs. As stated in the previous post, this is what we need to do.

A lot of folks have emailed and commented about what a great meet we had at Iona MOC, and how well the team is doing. I know better. I know you guys are training REALLY REALLY WELL, better than any team I've ever had. I also know that Iona MOC did not show our team's true ability.

The times were off, certainly; more importantly, there were unsightly GAPS between our runners. This is very un-Marist-like. We have always prided ourselves on being a pack team. As the lead guys get faster, this becomes more of a challenge. But we need to continue to strive to be a pack team.

Close the gaps.
Run together.
Feed off each other's energies.

And of course: DO WORK.
