Week #7 Practice FUN and ICE!

ALL FUN AND SOME RUN... 

...Taking a break from the intervals; resting the bodies before we start ramping up training/intensity for the next 4 weeks of North Bay League competition!

Cam just "Chilling" at Practice; over 30 runners experienced their first ice-bath today (only 2-3 minutes)!

Link to good article on benefits of ICE BATHS

...Good to do on your own!   -Keeping in mind, this topic is controversial with many opinions and recent studies showing benefits can be minimal.   Personally, for runners putting in 5-6 days a week/I believe in a good 10-15 minute ice bath once a week after a race, hard workout, over-distance run, or if you're experiencing sustained fatigue or "heavy legs"; I believe this activity can help to accelerate the healing process and assist in injuries or help make some of those little aches and pains go away!   -As a bonus, it's good mental toughness training ;)   -Remember, it takes your body over 24 hours to completely recover from a ~20 minute ice bath, so don't do this the night before a big race!
