In this week's message, I wanted to begin by appreciating all of you for successfully completing your first mesocycle of the regular season. It is important now to have a long-term, multi-season approach to training. The focus of the second mesocycle will be on controlling your runs and on strengthening the kinetic chain of muscles for better running performance and injury prevention. Learn about how to approach a training season, the nature of the beast, and what you can do to be on top of the training 'train'.
