Arizona

"Arizona" by Kings of Leon

Base Training the Lydiard Way

This is a post I've been meaning to write for a while, but just haven't really gotten around to it. This is for anyone using the summer to gear up for a fall season of racing, whether that's a marathon, road races, or cross country. That said, this is especially for you high school and college athletes. Summer is the most important time of the season.

No, it's not because the school building forms a perfect "L" around the homestretch and first turn, sheltering the field from any drastic wind.
