Hard days on the track challenge the body and soul. Tuesdays are track days for us. They are to prepare you for racing on the track, showing your best and for challenging yourself.
Laura Thweatt is an example of that. In her second marathon, Laura Thweatt ran 2:25, a nearly three minute improvement in London on Sunday. That took training, focus and patience.
