MENTAL TOUGHNESS RUN - DONE!!!!

Congratulations to all of our students and volunteers who made it this far and completed this season's last long run, a wet and challenging 20-miler. We are in the final stretch of marathon training now, otherwise known as “the taper.” In the final three weeks before the marathon, the body needs to recover from the stress of hard training in order to be in peak condition on race day. “Tapering” means not only reducing our training mileage, but also getting plenty of rest and eating smart. We will have more tapering tips to share in coming days.
