Newsletter Week 6
Hello MIT Fam,
We hope you all had a fantastic 4th of July holiday! For those who raced on Thursday or over the weekend, we hope you had an exhilarating experience and enjoyed every moment on the course.
Kudos to everyone for making it through the first few weeks of our build phase. Your dedication and hard work are truly inspiring. This week is a cutback week, so enjoy the shorter mileage and take the time to let your bodies recover and rejuvenate.
In recent running news, there was quite the humorous spectacle at the Olympic Trials when a hurdler stunned everyone by racing in an illegal Doritos speedsuit! It was a lighthearted reminder that sometimes, having a little fun can go a long way in easing the pressures of competition. Many of us have taken to wearing glitter, tutus, or other fun additions to our race kits. An easy way to lighten the mood and add some flair to your upcoming races, no? ;)
Also, don't miss this week's Fit for Life article, which focuses on anterior hip pain. It provides valuable insights into when you can safely train through the discomfort and when it's crucial to seek help from our medical team. Your health and well-being are our top priority, so be sure to give it a read!
Keep up the fantastic work, and let's continue this journey together, stronger than ever.
Happy Running, Walking, Moving & Shaking,
Coach Hannah

FIT FOR LIFE PHYSICAL THERAPY
Anterior Hip Pain
Anterior hip pain is one of the most common running & walking injuries FFL sees during this portion of each MIT Training Season. The good news is that for many of these injuries, it is ok to continue training despite the pain. There are, however, a few diagnoses that can put a stop to your running. That is why it is important to distinguish the underlying cause of the pain on the front of your hip.
We are here to help! The attached article by our own Fit For Life Physical Therapy expert, Joe Simko PT, will provide some background on injuries to the front of your hip and some gentle stretching that can help.
Fit For Life Physical Therapy is proud to be the Official MIT and Fleet Feet + FrontRunner Sports Medicine Partner. We care for people of all activity levels — to help prevent, recover from, or rehabilitate athletic injuries.
Christina Clemons was somehow allowed to race with the chip logo on the first day of competition—but she had to get creative for the final.
