Spartan Sprint Starts Recovery Week Off Right

Its not too late to join us in Amesbury, MA for the Spartan Sprint on Saturday, August 27th. Dean and I are in the 2pm wave. In fact here is a coupon code for $10 off your entrance fee - 2111  The Warrior Dash was held here in June and it forever changed the way I look at 5ks. Recovery week is scheduled for Monday, August 29th - Monday, September 5. While we love to see each of you weekly we know for  your best health and training ability we design "Rest" weeks into the training calendar. For some of you who need a bit of convincing jump on over to I Hate Recovery Weeks!  If you've trained with us for any length of time you've discovered the benefits and joys of recovery week.
