The 2024 Cross Country season is over!
This is the first day of easy running!
Warm-up well,
30 minutes of easy running,
cool-down well,
Check your shoes and make sure that your training shoes
are ready for the final weeks of training. (Most shoes make it 8-12 weeks of training)
If not, go to a local running store and find one or two good training shoes.
We will speak about that soon!
Our Christmas gift suggestion! Quicksilver, the Mercurial Emil Zatopek, book by Pat Butcher: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32739986-quicksilver
One of the finest books that I have ever read. I had met and interviewed Emil Zatopek, and Pat Butcher got him better than most!
Emil Zatopek rewrote the record books from 5,000m to 20,000m and one hour.
He invented double-threshold training.
He was a patriot as well as a Marxist who was demoted in the Czech military after his support the Czech 1968 Spring Revolt.
He is the only man to win 5,000m, 10,000m and marathon gold-in same Olympics (1952).
As he finished the marathon, his wife, Daniela, was winning the javelin!
He is incredibly inspiring and a great read over the holidays!
