​Hello MITers!

First off, a huge thank you to Coach Jeanne, Pace Coach Randy, and Jesús for holding down the fort at MIT last weekend while Dylan and I were out! We're incredibly grateful for their support and hope everyone had a fantastic time on Saturday.

Just a few reminders/announcements as we head into the week:

Lost and Found:
If you left behind your AirPod case with a single AirPod inside, don't worry—we've got it! We'll bring it back this Saturday for you to collect.

Extra Mileage Reminder:
If you’re planning to run extra miles beyond the allotted MIT mileage, please remember to take your keys with you. Our coaches and staff are only scheduled for the prescribed mileage, so let’s be courteous of their time by ensuring your keys aren't left in the key boxes if you plan to add extra miles after MIT. :)

Ladies XL Tanks:

For those who ordered a ladies XL tank, they have arrived! If you haven't already filled out the Google Form to claim yours, please do so ASAP—they'll be shipped out this week.

NYC Marathon Contest Winners: 
We're thrilled to introduce our NYC Marathon Contest winners! Be sure to check out their bios below.

WEDNESDAY GRIT WORKOUT - 8/14 @ 6:30PM: ANTRIM LAKE LOOPS

MEETUP LOCATION:

Antrim Park

Columbus, OH 43085

​

PARKING:

Park down at the bottom of the hill. We will meet at the Lake Deck!​

​

WORKOUT:​​​

THIS IS A CONTINUOUS EFFORT

(Run/Walk you will follow your normal interval, but your run pace will progressively speed up). Walkers, your walk pace should progress down as well.

WARMUP:
1 mile (.5 mile out and back)
Dynamic Warmup exercises we will do together as a team.

HALF:

2-3 x 1 Loops, starting at 30 seconds slower than race pace, and working your way down until you hit race pace or slightly faster.


FULL:

4-5 Loops, starting at 30 seconds slower than race pace, and working your way down until you hit race pace or slightly faster.

EDGE:

Each loop around the lake is just over a mile. We will have a 1 mile warmup. 3 min rest between all reps.

1 x 1 Loop (10k to Half Marathon pace)
2 x 2 loops (half marathon pace or slightly faster)
1 x 1 loop (5k to 10k pace)

For EDGE runners doing Grandview Yard, your workout will look like this:
2 x 1 Loop (Half Marathon to 10k) - 3 min rest
4 x .5 miles (5k to 10k) - 2 min rest

I encourage everyone to bring a handheld for this one. if you need to take a water break, do it, but this should be a continuous effort.​​​​​​
