This is Tuesday, June 20, 2023.
It is day two of the first week of Track Recovery.
Keep it light, warm up gently, and enjoy a run in the woods, say 35-40 minutes, keep the pace relaxed, listen to the birds,
and enjoy the sites, and then cool down well, hydrate, and do something fun.
We schedule in two weeks of recovery twice a year, and encourage athletes who need more, say 3-4 to do so.
Your body needs a break after a long, rigorous season of track and field.
