Training & Health
Training Tips
Your body is capable of much more than you think it is. Don’t let your mind get in the way of what your body can do!
Your body becomes accustomed to what you ask it to do. Make it accustomed to giving maximum effort!
Learn to focus your energies -- always think about competing in a state which is highly focused, yet relaxed.
Practice positive self talk during training.
Be consistent in training. Make the choice to make everyday a great day!
Be patient. Our training programs are meant to peak you at the appropriate times
When training with teammates, help each other. Great leaders make everyone around them better!
You are strong as one, but the team is stronger! Celebrate your teammates’ successes!
Always THINK -- don't let mental errors beat you. A smarter but slower runner can often times beat a faster but dumber runner.
