Weekly RunDown #88

Arthur Lydiard

As I mentioned last week there is a new Balanced Runner Online Camp starting May 26th with sign up starting May 20th, here is a review of the Balanced Runner I did after I took the class.   I hope some of you were able to try the free The Mind Your Running Challenge.  As I mention in my review if the class seemed strange you are not alone but I do think the underlying principal is one we need to learn, and if you are like me it may take longer to learn than some.  That principle is that our bodies have a natural way to move and often with all the info we get inundated with we start to force what is not really natural and it can take some effort to get back to it.  Also, there is a 90 day guarantee from the purchase date as well as being able to take the class again, as I am doing, at a later date  - To be upfront these are affiliate links but I would share either way as I hope you can see in my review.

July 7th in Elizabethtown, KY Running Soles will be hosting the Freeman Lake Summer Trail Challenge.  You can run a 10K or 5k and if really inspired run both

Here in the South-Central Kentucky area we have our own running camp if you are a JV or Varsity distance runner. Look at attending the 3 day KY Elite Distance Running Camp being help July 12-14 in Somerset KY.  This camp is put on by KY 2000 AA State Cross-Country Champion Daniel Roberts who I interviewed at the end of February.  The price for the camp is $50 but it increases after April 15, 2018 at 11:59pm EDT.   You can also get information at the KY Elite Running Facebook page

If you are going to be in the Nancy Kentucky area July 21st, 2018 you might consider doing the Mud Mayhem & Fun Lake Cumberland 5K Obstacle Challenge.  The race proceeds go to help the local Phoenix Racing
