Notes
Pre-meet run on the Regionals course. :) It is the same as the one for Wisconsin's Adidas invite, so we are all very familiar with the layout. Finished with four strides in spikes post-run.
The one thing I learned about this course that I never considered is that the turn into the baby hills before the 5k mark is further up than the first time you approach those two hills, at the beginning of the race. As Coach S. put it, the immediate turn into those hills can be a "rhythm breaker" if you're not prepared for it. I feel the turn has definitely tripped me up in the past, but I can remedy this situation from now on by going wide and immediately fixing my form for the hills ahead.
