Tuesday June 8

I wanted to let everyone know that we have over 50 people now reporting mileage for the Eagle Running Club. Everyones combined mileage for the first week is 743 miles. That is very impressive. That is a very big number. Thanks to all of you for participating!!

A – 40 minutes @ 7:45 pace (4.5 miles);
B – 30 minutes @ 8:00 pace (3 miles);

Today we are looking at getting in 3 to 4.5 miles in. The pace should be a little slower than Mondays. Make sure you stay relaxed and again concentrate on sustaining the pace over the entire distance.

A good friend of mine, Mark Matzker, wanted me to remind everyone about watching out for overuse injuries. I am giving out ideas for runs everyday but that does not necessarily mean you should be running everyday. Those of us new to running need to make sure that we are taking a couple of days off a week. The more experienced runners can probably handle more days of running. Listen to what your body is telling and don't be afraid to take a day off.
