Boulder Sports Performance's Weekly Updates

1. As the summer progresses, BSP wants to take this opportunity to reiterate "why" YOU choose to participate in Boulder Sports Performance training: YES...Boulder Sports Performance is a very intense training, YES...Tony does like to yell, YES...it hurts while you're doing the work but the effects afterwards feel great. However, each and every one of you participate because you want to challenge yourself not only physically but mentally as well; giving 100% each and every time.

Although most of you are not striving to be an "elite" athlete, nor do some of you plan to compete in any type of race; the sole purpose for all is to get a killer workout because it makes you feel great. By deviating from what the collective goal of the group is, (whether its excessive talking, complaining/whining, OR not giving it your "all") brings the level of intensity down. Let's stayed focused, keep on doing what you are doing and continue the hard work.

2. The time to socialize and have fun is at Boulder Sports Performance's monthly Happy Hour. SOOOO...BSP has already been making plans for June's Happy Hour. Mark your calendars for Friday, June 24 and we'll keep the location under wraps until BSP has them finalized. 

3. Last Monday Boulder Sports Performance had an awesome time on Magnolia Road. We hope that more of you will show up this week. BSP will meet at the Justice Center Parking Lot in Boulder (6th and Canyon, east side of 6th street) this Monday at 4:45PM SHARP to carpool! Or meet at Magnolia Road just before the 5 mile marker if you cannot meet at the Justice Center. SEE YOU THERE!!

The following is the Boulder Sports Performance training schedule for this coming week. PLEASE make note of the following days, times and locations! All Boulder Sports Performance Members are requested to RSVP through Meetup.com as it makes it easier to have an accurate count of who's coming:

Have a wonderful week from the Boulder Sports Performance Team.

Boulder Sports Performance's Weekly Updates

1. Memorial Day is tomorrow and Boulder prepares itself for one of the biggest events of the year: The BolderBoulder. Boulder Sports Performance will have numerous members participating tomorrow to run the nation's Biggest 10K. As with last year, BSP Members will plan on meeting after the race to watch the elite field run and the post-BB Memorial Day festivities. Boulder Sports Performance will meet in section 208 of Folsom Field, which is located at the south end of the stadium just under the scoreboard. Good luck to everyone tomorrow.

2. As June is closely approaching and the springtime weather is turning into summer, this is a perfect time to re-evaulate those goals. Having a friend to train with, a log book, or a combination of both will hold you accountable. Boulder Sports Performance's training is also a good way, at the very minimum, to get a high-caloric, leg strengthening session in once or twice a week. BSP looks forward to seeing you at the trainings coming up.

Also, be on the lookout for information containing the BolderBoulder pre-race party (mostly likely the Friday before the race). 

2. Boulder Sports Performance's new massage therapist, Tracy Lucas, has provided some information below, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

"Many athletes consider sports massage an essential part of their training & recovery routine. Massage assists athletes in their training regimen by improving performance, preventing injury & recovering faster. Other benefits include reducing muscle stiffness, increasing circulation and promoting relaxation.

As an athlete or someone training on a regular basis, it is best to get regular massages as maintenance between workouts, in preparation for a race and to decrease recovery time post race. During race season, I recommend a regular routine of at least 2 massages/month. As a member of Boulder Sports Performance, you get a discount on your first session and a special package deal!
