Practices are amazing. We all run at different levels, but we are doing the same thing. We pass each other with encouragement. Our cheering is interspersed with our breathing. The clarity of our speech depends on the intensity of the workouts.
Most days are intense, so as the season progresses a separate language is developed.
We runners understand each other. Let me explain our training. Half of our practices are road runs. The rest are speed workouts. We run them on what we affectionately call the Benson Bowl.
