Nice workout today at VCP

Although I was not there, I heard several promising reports from the Back Hills Workout today.

Again, the key to such a workout is in the SPECIFICITY. Remember that you will be returning in a week, and you'll want to really drill this part of the course.

The hard training work is pretty much complete. Now, we need to freshen up and be ready mentally to race hard. During this portion of the season, you need to have what I call the COURAGE TO REST. This does not mean being lazy. It means being smart, reducing the volume, while maintaining the intensity.

Resist the temptation to hammer your runs. Take it easy when you need to. We'll mix in very short/off days along the way.

Enjoy the weekend. Get lots of sleep and good food at home or wherever you are. See you back at practice on Monday.
