Hi Everyone!
A GREAT BIG CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who participated in
the Ramsey Tour this past weekend! The weather was fantastic
for this longstanding event, and it was exciting to see so many
people out and running. It was a great show as always from the
event organizers - thank-you very much to the Sudbury Masters
- and the volunteers were great in keeping everyone on course
and hydrated.
The sidewalk sale is here! We're setting up today so that everything
will be ready for you to check out at Practice Club tomorrow.
This is a great way to stock up for winter training or if you're
ahead of the game you can even get a head start on your Christmas
shopping!
Tip of the week:
Monitoring your heart rate will take the guesswork out of training
and ensure that your training intensities are optimal. If your
heart rate during exercise is too low, you aren't working yourself
hard enough to do yourself much good. If your heart rate is
too high, you will most likely fatigue before the exercise can
be beneficial. Monitoring your heart rate ensures that you stay
within your optimal target heart rate zone, optimizing the benefits
of your workouts and eliminating uncertainty about safety.

shirts for fall. Gents, for you Nike has produced a great line
of both short and long sleeve tees with matching fitted shorts
