2014 Tahoe Running Camp Highlights Part I

...We planked, we slept (some), we did the "Hustle", we sang, spent hours playing Mafia, we ate lots of awesome food served up by Linn Bruno, we sang some more, oh yeah and we had some awesome runs!    

Good Friends, Good Food, Good Times!  

...More details to come, including Spooner results, highlights of team building contests in a few more days.

Wave Goodbye to the 2014 Tahoe Running Camp!  
...Sell Hello to the 2015 Tahoe Running Camp dates already firmed up 7/31/15 - 8/5/15
(sign-ups begin after XC season)

...Still working on setting up our "Spooner Make-Up Run" 12.2 mile run for next week; either 8/1, 8/2 or 8/3.   -Greg is out of town this weekend, so will finalize plans and details by next Monday or Tuesday.

MISSING ANYTHING FROM CAMP?!   ...Greg has everything left-over sitting on his front porch (4525 Ranchette Rd. Santa Rosa, 95409) swing by to get it our will donate to Goodwill or future Tahoe Running Camp Supplies if not picked up by 8/3/14.

ATTENTION ALL RUNNERS!  You may feel too tired from camp, or procrastinating/waiting till XC practice starts to get back into your 5-6 day/week training routine.    ....DON'T WAIT!   There is still a lot of summer training left!   ...Have fun during these last few weeks, but EVERYONE should be running at least every-other-day a minimum of 4 miles per run to be adequately prepared for the upcoming XC season.
First day of XC practice is only 3 weeks away, we did some great training during camp, so keep it going!  ;)

Summer Challenge #2 Take-on the 30 Day Plank Challenge!!!

ACCEPT THE 30 DAY PLANK CHALLENGE!  -This will send your core strength through the roof and improve your running  running economy (more core strength = less effort).  ...What are the benefits of the Plank exercise? 

*It strengthens your lower back
*It develops your core muscles – which include the abs, back, hips and the butt.
*Helps you to avoid injuries and encourage good posture
*Can be done anywhere
*Develops your abdominals by targeting the rectus abdominis

Yes, all you have to do is HOLD this position, nothing else! It looks pretty easy, but it isn't!



...This is a beginner routine, everyone starts somewhere!    -Keeping good form is very critical: 



Next post will include:  

• Results of Summer Challenge #1, if you have not already, e-mail or text Greg a sample page of your running log!
