Club Announcements
Club Discounts: We are entering a partnership with Eastern Mountain Sports another one of your local sporting good suppliers! As part of this partnership they have provided us with a coupon that is usable online and instore. A great time to grab some summer camping gear or a new pair of trail shoes! The coupon is attached to this Newsletter and can be canned in store from your phone or you can take the numbers and use it online!
Local Resources: Our good friends at Ciofreddi and Associates (Physical Therapy and Wellness) want to remind our members that they provide a multitude of services specifically for runners and athletes beyond physical therapy, such as their VO2 Max testing service. VO2 Max is a critical aspect of optimizing your running performance and essentially is understanding how fast you can get oxygen to where it needs to go in your body while working out and get CO2 out of there. They gave a great seminar on running performance and endurance training that is available on their website here and is a great watch if you want to learn more about how you can train smarter! UVRC has a long history with Ciofreddi’s and they’ve done amazing work in keeping our runners injury free and helping them recover so we highly recommend them!
Tuesday Night Track: We are on for our summer schedule which means that effective immediately we will be on the Dartmouth Track! The entrance is in the Northwest corner closer to the baseball fields. And we will be there come rain or shine!
A few quick notes about TNT if you haven’t come
- It is a track workout meaning its a time to work on your speed and endurance
- The Coaches think of a workout that is challenging to help you push yourself
- YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THE WORKOUT AS PRESCRIBED! It is a recommendation and a good alignment point for you and your fellow runners. You can totally choose to do more or less or modify as needed
- It is track time! Show up and run even if you don’t think you can or want to do the workout! Flat space is hard to come by in this neck of the woods, who doesn’t love a flat workout
- It’s for everyone. All paces
Summer Runner’s Night Outs: Every Second Tuesday of the month we head over to Hanover Ramuntos for free pizza on the club! Come hang out with your pal’s after Tuesday Night Track, and eat FREE PIZZA!
- June 11th
- July 9th
- August 13th
Saturday Morning Runs: EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY! Saturday morning runs will be at 0800AM instead of 9AM to beat some of the summer heat. We will meet in front of Omer and Bobs for a chiller social run. People break out into groups based on pace and route and head off. Afterwards we meet on the Leb Green for baked goods or head over to Lucky’s Coffee for some breakfast!
