What a great first 2 team runs we've had!! If you haven't been to one yet...check out the pic's below and see what you're missing! I can't tell you through pictures though the emotions going with this group. People are becoming runners and our team is starting relationships that will be such an important tool to finishing this marathon strong. It's been awesome seeing so many new and old faces the last couple weeks!
We have heard from Michelle Greene and Dana Foster on the importance of stretching and core strengthening. Both of these things are important to pay attention to as you go through the marathon training process. If you haven't been shown some proper stretches please grab someone at the next group run and have them show you what to do and what not to do! Most importantly stretch after you run for at least 5 minutes to work those already warmed up muscles. To help support your back and spine, which in the long run is associated with all the muscles you use running, be sure you are paying attention to your 'core". Dana left some great hand outs that will be available to show you some good stretches to try out as you focus on this area.
Wow! I know there is A LOT of info coming at you right now. I hope you are getting the info you need for your personal goals, growth, and experiences. Please don't be afraid to ask questions and seek someone out on Saturday mornings to help you along. Happy running this week!
