Week #6 Training Tips Nutrition:
Nutrition challenge this week is to gobble down 3 fruits a day & try to mix it up!
Week #6 Training Tips :
Ha, when was the last time you did some sit ups? Now is the time to start and while your at it add a plank & some push ups. All this helps your running… that’s right… especially when you become fatigued. It is important to keep upright vs bent over. Bending over while running restricts oxygen supply & also leads to inefficient running. A strong core is the answer!
Week #6 Challenge:
Here is a great one for you.
Chrysler Road is your sto own this week. Start off early in the week, either Monday or Tuesday and go all the way up and down both sides 2 times then the next day 4 times. Than on either Saturday or Sunday…. Get back there and best yourself by DOUBLING what you did earlier in the week. Watch out for cows crossing the road!
Team Training Group Run:
Thursday March 24 at 6 PM. Meet at the outside by the Pool Lobby. Dress appropriately for an outside run in the dark (safety gear like reflectors, blinking lights and yak tracks might be in order). “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out……”

Total mileage = 5 miles

Total mileage = 16 mile
Week #5 Training Tips Nutrition:
Work on staying balanced with your nutrition. 45% carbs., 30% proteins, and 25 % good fats. Depriving yourself and being off balance leads to binge eating, poor performance and basically puts a lot of your life “off balance.”
Week #5 Training Tips Running:
How about a running partner? Having a running partner can hold you accountable and keep you motivated. You can also form a special “bond” with a running partner that becomes even therapeutic at times. Running partners can solve the world’s problems and other times say nothing at all. So give it a try…it may be the missing link that you are searching for!
Week #5 Challenge:
Here is a great one for you.
Get up to Gibraltar at least twice this week.
Your goal the first time is to either:
A) Go up/Down 4-8 times (and keep track of the time it takes you to accomplish goal)
B) Go up/down 30 – 45 min. (and keep track of the # of times you go up/down)
Your goal the second time is to:
Beat your goal from the first time!!!!
Team Training Group Run:
Wear your reflective gear if running in the dark or low light conditions.Thursday March 17 at 6 PM. Meet at the Chestnut Street Bridge. Dress appropriately for an outside run in the dark (safety gear like reflectors, blinking lights and yak tracks might be in order).

Lodi Mother's Day Run Week 4 Rocky Challenge - Fight those hills
Total mileage = 4.5 miles
If you are planning on running the Half Marathon race, Week #4 looks like this:
Total mileage = 14 mile
Week #4 Training Tips Nutrition:
Record everything you put in your mouth for the day and you may surprise yourself. At the end of the day look back over your journal and ask…….
1. Was what I ate “healthy” and natural or was it processed and/or junk food?
2. Is this “fuel” for my body that will enabled me to function or junk that causes me to “BONK”?
3. Was I gorging or grazing?
Consider keeping the journal for a week and note how you feel when you train as well. Should you make some adjustments on food intake? Can you relate food intact with how you feel during a run?
Week #4 Training Tips Running:
Most Important Running Gear? Your shoes, replace them every 300-400 miles. Running in old or worn out shoes can lead to running injuries. Are you actually running in running shoes?? Go to a specialty store for expert advice.
Week #4 Challenge: Do the Rocky!
Are you up for Hill Street??
Rocky Challenge - Hold your hands up and make a statement!
Let’s see….
You will know that you conquered Hill Street at the end of Day 5….and don’t forget your “Rocky” Dance at the end!!!

Wear your reflective gear if running in the dark or low light conditions.
Thursday March 10 at 6 PM. Meet at the Top of Main Street. Dress appropriately for an outside run in the dark (safety gear like reflectors, blinking lights and yak tracks might be in order).
