Too Much Too Soon

Some people come into the season ready for highly intense workouts and higher mileage, while some haven't run at all. Each runner needs to gauge, along with the coach, how prepared they are for the workouts. By doing too much too soon you run the risk of injury or burnout, neither of which we want. The best thing to do is come into the season ready, but no matter what a runners fitness level, they are welcome and the workouts will be adjusted to bring them along to their maximum potential while making sure that they don't run a high risk for injury.

That is the sort of race which one really enjoys - to feel at one's peak on the day when it is necessary, and to be able to produce the pace at the very finish. It gives a thrill which compensates for months of training and toiling. But it is the sort of race that one wants only about once a season.
