Time Trial #1

Time Trial 1 is tomorrow.  We will blow the whistle sharply at 9am.  Arrive by 8:30 at the latest to get your pre-race routine going.  We will be done after all finish.  

It's been a good, hard week. Tomorrow we show off!

Day 4-Long Easy

We ran for an hour straight today. It's always good to see the victory on the faces after a very long run. A good day.

Day 2

A good day again.  800s are hard.  The varsity boys ran 8 of these, the girls and jr. high boys did 6, and the jr. high girls 4.  Lots of water and breaks help, but it is just hard.  

We are trying to convince our bodies that "our new normal," that is a lot of running, is acceptable and okay. Our bodies can do much more than we think they can.  It just takes a bit of convincing.  

Good practice overall.

First Practice Impressions

We've got one in the books.  The runners ran a 10-minute pre-warm-up, followed by our stretch routine.  We then ran the course for our actual warm-up (varsity=3.1 miles; jr. high=2.4 miles).  We came back, had a break for five minutes, and followed that up with our CORE routine.  Next, we went to the track for our one mile time trial to get our goals for the rest of this week's interval workouts.  We ended with 8x20 second strides, and then 5x100 sprints.

Tough day, but all looked good!

Gabe set the bar with a 5:08 mile, Beka had a 6:15, Sam had a 6:00, and Paige hit 7:13 for our fastest time trials by gender and varsity/jr. high.  

Tomorrow we hit the 800m intervals as our speedwork.  


Impressions:  We have a great group of runners, a few new faces (always nice!), and did well.  We need recruits, though.  Ask your friends to come join the fun.  

FAMILY BUSINESS!
