- The entire TNT group is the most inspiring, sincere, dedicated, supportive, caring group of people I have ever met - it's a cult of "nice" people with the mission to cure cancer.
- The training was developed by an exceedingly highly qualified group of folks and we're supported by live, in-person coaches, captains, mentors, and honorees (those fighting cancer). Here's my week:
- Monday and Wednesday - 6am circuit training for 45-60 minutes (no TNT buddies for this)
Tuesday - Coach led track training 6pm for 2 hours: 1) warm-up 2)stretching 3) drills: toe and heel walking, high knees, butt kicks, lunges, grapevines, cheer-leaders 4) pace setting laps 5) core strengthening : plank, side plank, push ups, etc. (see pic) 6) stretching. - Thursday - 6am buddy run for 5 miles (will increase to 7)
- Friday - rest/recovery day (stretching only)
- Alternating Saturdays - buddy run (half of longest distance run to date) or coach led long run (will do 14 miles on 8/9)
- Sunday - rest/recovery day (stretching only)
During every training, we all support teammates through hardships and successes with sarcasm and smiles. We're also quick to state ,"Suck it up, man! Try chemo!" Which brings me to my last point - many honorees have stated that they are inspired by our dedication to "the cause". However, it is them who inspire us. Sniff, sniff.
