NEW START TIME SATURDAY LONG RUN - 10/5 @ 7:30AM: MT. FRONTRUNNER​

​

Hey, MIT!

​

Congratulations to our full marathoners on completing your peak week! You've put in an incredible amount of hard work and dedication, and now it's time to embrace taper. As you shift into this next phase of training, take pride in your achievements and focus on letting your body recover and rejuvenate.

​

For our half marathoners, it's your turn to step into peak week! This is your moment to push through the highest mileage and intensity of your training cycle. Remember, peak week is demanding, so it's essential to prioritize rest, hydration, and proper fueling to handle the increased workload effectively.

​

As you approach the taper period, you might experience what many call "taper crazies"—a mix of excitement, anxiety, and restlessness. It's perfectly normal! Lean into self-care practices to manage this transition. Focus on recovery, stick to your training plan, and trust in the hard work you've already put in.

​

Keep your eyes on the prize, and let’s finish strong as we head towards race day. Celebrate the progress you’ve made and keep pushing forward with confidence!

​​​

Happy Running, Walking, Moving & Shaking,

Coach Hannah

FIT FOR LIFE PHYSICAL THERAPY 
STEAMBOATS & PICTURING SUCCESS

What if someone told you there was a magic exercise that would prevent or fix all running and walking injuries?  Do not believe it.

Everyone is different, has different body structure, different running or walking form, different training, different history, and different impairments.  

However, there is an exercise that can address many impairments that contribute to leg injuries and may help your running or walking in some capacity, if done properly.  

Learn more about these “magic Steamboats” in the attached article by Joe, Laura, and Sean – the founders of Fit For Life Physical Therapy.

Fit For Life Physical Therapy are proud to be the Official MIT and Fleet Feet Sports Medicine Partner. We care for people of all activity levels — to help prevent, recover from, or rehabilitate athletic injuries.
