Hi,
CONGRATULATIONS to all who raced the Virtual Half Marathon last week! We think it was a huge success with some great performances! Rich Cagley raced to a 1:19:31 PR by over 2minutes! which is also a National Class Age Group performance! Roy McLaughlin raced to a 1:30:31PR BY OVER 4MINUTES! Roy has worked very hard and been extremely consistent which led to his incredible personal best. Jim Cathcart racing his first half marathon with a time goal of breaking 2 hrs did just that at 1:54! Alejandra Santos ran a great race as well! We are proud of all of you.
After consulting with our resident infectious disease expert, Lynn Fitzgibbons on the status of our community as it relates to Covid, We have decided to postpone practice starting tomorrow through January 1st. In Lynn's words, "The Stakes are too high to continue gathering at this point" We will reconvene for practice (depending on where we are with Covid at that time) on Saturday January 2nd. This timing works great in terms of rebuilding after our virtual race series. We recommend taking at least 2 weeks and doing only easy mileage and 6-8x100m strides 3xweekly after your easy runs. We will post workouts again for the week of Dec 21st and they will be threshold workouts 85-90% Max HR type with shorter recovery jogs.
