Blackstone prep

Spotted at Blackstone:
the gorilla arm / rock em sock em robots runners.

runners:
3.3 miles
Tang (NB 903) 26:17
Brian (Free 5.0) 30
Sri (NB) 35
Knapp (Saucony) shin splints

Someone asked how you could get faster (besides adding on miles):cough: Sri :cough:

Is there something to prevent injuries AND get faster? go on...

side note: this person's undbridled enthusiasm is insane; pacing by the mile, shaving 2 minutes off of race time in 2 weeks. Someone needs to pump the brakes and spread the enthusiasm over a year (or years)

These are the exercises that I have found helpful. I only have a year of running experiences, so this is not all-encompassing.
