The Little Things . . . a Going the Distance newsletter Mid May 2022 || issue #113 Share on Facebook | June 12 is the registration deadline to receive the 2-week prep. The goal of the pre-program guideline is to prepare for the conditioning sessions through aerobic training. Matt Loehle explains Braz Camp -- Braz camp is definitely a social, interactive place to be in the summer (but there is a time and a place for the social part, just ask Coach Pete). Then of course there is the fitness aspect of Braz camp, which can’t be overstated. I always come out of camp in August in the best shape of my life, and it feels fantastic. It’s the process that I’m drawn to. Braz camp is all about the process – nutrition, hydration, variations of running workouts, stretching, plyometrics, core, and even mental strength. | "Over the years, I have been able to train with some of the most talented runners in the state and get advice from the most knowledgeable and caring coaches. Even though Coach Braz has added and altered the workouts each summer, the one central constant has been his, the coaching staff's and the athlete's commitment to hard work and personal development."
