Newsletter Week 3
🌟 Hello, MIT!
What an electrifying week it's been with the Olympic Track and Field Trials underway! Hasn't it been inspiring to watch these incredible athletes chase their dreams? I hope you're all as fired up as I am to hit the pavement this week!
First things first, drumroll please... TRAINING TANKS ARE HERE! We're thrilled to announce that our MIT tanks will be distributed exclusively at MIT workouts on the following dates: June 26th, June 29th, July 3rd, July 6th, July 10th, and July 13th. Please note they won't be available at any other time or place. If you opted for home delivery during registration, expect them to arrive at your doorstep next week!
In this edition's "Train Your Brain" segment, we delve into that magical phenomenon known as the Runner's High. Ever wondered when that euphoric feeling might veer into risky territory? We've got the scoop for you!
Lastly, with summer temperatures rising, stay tuned for updates on workout times. We'll likely be adjusting schedules to beat the heat and keep our training safe and effective. Make sure to keep an eye on your inbox for any timing adjustments!
Stay pumped, stay focused, and let's keep pushing toward our goals together. You've got this!
Happy Running, Walking, Moving & Shaking,
Coach Hannah

If you've been doing this whole endurance running/walking thing for a while, chances are you've experienced some degree of "Runner's High." Maybe you haven't quite reached the euphoric feeling, but you have experienced a bit of "brain fog" toward the end of a long effort. Read on for Dr. Heather Bechtel's explanation of "That Fuzzy Feeling!"
