Sessions will meet 6/16, 6/23, 6/30, take a week off for the holiday, and start back 7/14, 7/21, & finish on 7/28.

Don’t forget, space is limited to 10 people.  Spots are secured on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Reserve your spot ASAP!

Summertime is almost here, are you ready to shine?

Most of us know what foods we “should” and “should not” be eating, but so many of us have trouble losing weight. If you would like to change your relationship to food, join Health Coach Emily Karl in a six-week series. Each session is an hour and half and includes the following topics:

•  Why We Eat
•  Mindful Eating
•  Crowding Out
•  Whole & Unprocessed Foods
•  Grocery Field Trip
•  Small Changes for Lasting Improvements

Sessions begin in June. Space is limited.

Contact Coach Emily for more information or to reserve your spot. 

“If pressed to far when stretching, the muscles and tendons will further tighten negating the stretch and possibly causing injury. Take the body to a place where a strong sensation is felt without pain in order to lengthen and loosen muscles.”

Coach Emily teaches the “Get Limber” sessions at our river road location Tuesday and Thursdays at noon and Friday evenings at 5:30pm.  She is also available for private sessions by appointment.  Feel free to contact her directly (emilynkarl@gmail.com) for more information or to schedule a private session.

Congrats to everyone that competed.  We also want to thank all of you that showed your support for TS by wearing our shirts.  Once again, it was nice to see so many familiar faces out there competing.  Great job everyone!!

Stay smart this week and pay attention to your hydration status and by all means, do not eat anything strange or new to your system Friday evening.  You don’t want any surprises Saturday morning.

We would like to meet as a group at the river road Training Studio location around 6:45am.  Please park across the street in the “yellow” lot next to the rowing facility.  We do still have classes going on inside the facility, so if you have to use the bathroom, please be courteous and don’t disrupt the class.  Our goal is to get a nice big group picture around 7am.  The race starts at 7:30, so we will have to begin walking down to the start no later than 7:10am to make sure we get there in time.  Once again we would love to get a large group picture before the race, so try hard to join us.

I have been getting lots of comments from other racers on the large number of TS shirts they are seeing out at the races.  Let’s keep it going and show your support for The Training Studio by wearing your uniform.

Here is some packet pick-up info for your convenience.  See the website for more details.

Packets may be picked up at the BB&T Running Wild Expo at the Kentucky International Convention Center on Thursday, April 26th between 4 pm - 8 pm and on Friday, April 27th between 11 am – 9 pm. FOR 2012: NO PACKET PICKUP ON RACE DAY. Runner packets include race bib, timing chip, and important runner instructions.

Have a great week of training.  See you Saturday!

Let’s recap what was accomplished this year.  We changed several things this year with intentions of making this the most comprehensive group available.  We gave away a free month of strength training to all participants, put together a very comprehensive 78 page online training manual for everyone and even donated a portion of all revenue to the Olmsted Parks, in addition to a marked course each week with water, speed workouts with Ken Combs on Tuesday evenings, discounts at Ken Combs Running Store and fresh coffee and bagels after each training.

Now we want to hear from you.  Let us know how we can improve on our existing program.  Any thoughts on changes or additions to the program that you would like to see?  This is your opportunity to speak your mind.  We promise to acknowledge and consider all reasonable requests.

We are still planning to meet as a group at the start of the mini marathon next week and also plan to host a post-race celebration after the Derby.  Keep an eye out for next weeks post with more detailed info.

Now it’s back to business.  We only have 4 more weeks to prepare for the Mini Marathon.  Evaluate how your Papa John’s race went.  Did you have adequate energy?  Did your nutrition strategy work?  How was your pacing?  Did your race strategy go as planned?  Any other significant issues that need to be addressed?  Now is the time to work these things out.  Don’t forget to refer back to our extensive Running manual for helpful hints and suggestions.

Get all of this taken care of now so your Mini Marathon will be the best ever.

Begining tomorrow (4/3) we are starting a stretching class called “Get Limber”.  These classes meet Tuesday/Thursdays at noon and are free to all existing members.  Come join our new instructor Emily Karl and learn how to stretch out properly.  We hope to see several smiling faces tomorrow.

We also have some great news for our St. Matthews group members.  Effective immediately, your $125 monthly fee now includes access to all sessions at the River road facility.  That’s correct, you did read that right.  It’s pretty simple, for $125/month, you can now have unlimited access to both facilities.  That goes for all of you River road members as well.  You could have unlimited access to both facilities for $125/month.  WOW, what a great deal.

This is our way of saying “Thanks” to our existing members that have continued to support us with a constant flow of referrals.  KEEP THEM COMING!!!

Have a great evening!

Your friendly TS Staff
