This is the week after all state meets are done. The athletes who are focused now on their Junior nationals, NB outdoors, or a regional invitational are at the top of their form. This week includes some moderate fast running, some rest and lots of focus. The weather is better across North America, and after 22 weeks of training, your bodies are at the point of high level fitness. Good luck!
