Let's have our first run of the new year back at the Academy on Saturday, January 26 at 10:00am.
Plan to run on the indoor track but we can always run outside if the weather happens to be decent.
See you then!

A New Year / Interesting Article - Make Yawning Part of Your Pre-Race Routine
Hello everyone...
Now that the holidays have passed I wanted to reach out and let you all know the running club is still around and ready to get back on track. I assumed there may not be much interest in running the last handful of weeks due to the combination of the holiday season and colder weather.
That said, I'll start scheduling group runs again soon, although many may be at the Academy where we could run indoors. The indoor track is admittedly short, but at least it will be comfortable and it is easy to mix things up with faster interval workouts.
Also, here is a link to an article I came across recently. Experts seem to think yawning before racing helps increase one's focus and therefore performance. Seems like an easy thing to try...
As always, feel free to suggest any ideas you have for our club, be it when and where to run, races people may wish to run together, or anything else.

BBC Panorama - The Truth About Sports Products
Here is a very interesting documentary from the BBC about sports products. A panel of researchers from Oxford University investigates the alleged efficacy of sports drinks, athletic footwear, and other sports supplements.
I was aware of some of the ideas mentioned in the film but there were a couple eye-openers for sure.

Group Run Scheduled - October 17
Hi everyone...
Time for another run back up north...let's meet at the Academy on Wednesday, October 17th at 6:30pm. After to talking to some of the group members the idea of an evening, mid-week run was tossed out. Hopefully it will allow some of us that normally couldn't make a run to participate this time.
In case you need a reminder, click here to be taken to the original blog post containing the different routes from the Academy. As usual, there are routes for two, four, and six miles.
Now that the summer heat has finally broken it should make for a nice evening run. See you all there!

Group Run Scheduled - September 1
Hello everyone...
Thanks to those of you who participated in our last group run. It turned out to be one of those mornings that was perfect to get outside and run.
I've been thinking a good cycle for our runs will be to add runs at the Downtown Airport in between each run held in the northern or southern parts of the city. In other words, the pattern will go something like: North, Airport, South, Airport, North...and so on. Hopefully keeping every other run at the airport will keep things accessible for as many people as possible.
That said, let's go ahead and have our next run at the Downtown Airport on Saturday, September 1st at 8am. For those of you worried about access to the airport due to the construction on 169 HWY, MoDOT states there is still access. You have to come in from Burlington in North Kansas City and head west on 10th Avenue until you reach Harlem Road, which leads straight to the airport.
As a reminder, here's a quick map for where to park on the southern end of the airport:

The full loop around the airport is around 3.6 miles, but if you need routes of different lengths check out my previous post for our first run at the airport.
Hope to see you all there!
