Feb 02, 2010: Congratulations to Mitch Quigg and Matt McNeil for representing the club at the McGill track meet. We'll hopefully get the stories from them about their events on Thursday night. Please find attached the pro tip from last week that I posted on facebook and the pro tip from this week. If you are on facebook, be sure to join as a member of the Saint John Track Club.

Pro Tip from January 28: Bad form can come from poor posture so be sure to do exercises that help with your posture. A simple step can be simply trying to stay tall in your normal routine and trying not to slouch.

Pro Tip for February 2: If you are going to run outside on a cold day, make sure you keep the run relatively short and come back "with the wind".
