Happy Running! You are doing great!!!

Track, Treadmill, or Road!

The Track
Pros:
The track is a great place for speedwork. It offers flat terrain and allows for exact pacing as you go.

Cons:
The sharp turns put extra pressure on the same side of your body repetitively.

Tip:
Make sure to warm up and cooldown in the outside lanes going the opposite direction.

The Treadmill
Pros:
The treadmill tells your pace and distance. The cushioned surface is good for runners coming back from an injury. Great during the crazy Ohio weather.

Cons:
The ground moves under you on the treadmill, so technically it's easier to run on. It does not adequately prepare you fro the pounding of outside running and racing.

Tips:
Set the incline at 1 percent to simulate flat road conditions. Run on a road at least twice a week.

The Road
Pros:
Running outside develops mental toughness as you deal with various weather and other conditions and helps you prepare for races.

Cons:
It can be harder to estimate your speed, and hilly terrain or obstacles-stoplights, cars, etc. can throw off target training paces. Just roll with it....Don't worry about it...Just get out there and run for fun!

Tips:
Get a cheap stopwatch. It can help you keep track of your pace, distance, and time.

Sock It To 'Em

WrightSock Running II

Team Trinity's Favorite Running Sock

Want to prevent blisters? Want to avoid sweaty feet?

I am a huge fan of the WrightSock Running II sock! The other Team Trinity members love them too!

I highly suggest investing in a pair!!! They are $10.00 a pair at your local running store. However, they can be found online at various websites for about $6.00 a pair. They are worth every dime!!!

WRIGHTSOCK™ Double Layer Running II: Is a midweight running sock with two moisture-wicking layers to keep your feet dry and blister-free. This sock will not change your shoe fit!

It comes in anklet and quarter heights.
Make sure you order the RUNNING II
and not another version!

Nice job today, Team Trinity!

See you Saturday!

Check the blog this week for updates!

Happy Training!

Saturday's Run/Walk New Trotters Route

Things to Remember
It is hard to get up at 6:30 for a twenty minute workout. However, the first six weeks are the most important. You are training those legs and lungs! After you conquer these first three miles....You are going to LOVE being part of a running group! Hang in there. If you need ANYTHING the ENTIRE Team Trinity group is here to help, encourage, and answer questions!

Game Plan
All the Team Trinity group will do the run 5 minutes/walk 5 minutes together. The veteran runners are here to support you, encourage you, and make this FUN!!! Our total run/walk time this week is 20 minutes. Next week you ramp up to a 30 minute run/walk!

Route Description
This is a "scenic" run through one of Hartville's finest neighborhoods. I'm kidding. This route is flat with one hill. We may or may not run/walk this entire route. This serves as a directional guideline for our route, but we are running my minutes. So, we will run for five/walk for five until 10 minutes is complete. Then we will turn around and run for five/walk for five until 10 minutes brings us back towards the Magnus house!

Saturday's 10 Mile Route (Hills, Hills, Hills)

Game Plan

Route Review
WARNING: This is the hilliest route we've ever had. This is for your own good! The Akron marathon route is NOT flat like Cleveland. You will hate me tomorrow, but thank me on race day! Coach Momma C will bring water during this running adventure!
