Our summer mileage reporting season ended Saturday. Turn in your mileage reporting sheets to Coach Stucki on Monday. I want the mileage totals turned in no matter how many miles were recorded during the summer.
With school starting this week, it is going to be a shock to the system. Fatigue will likely be an issue this week. I'm asking everyone on the team to get to bed at a time with a 9 in it.
Hydration may also be an issue, so make sure you have a water bottle that you can be sipping from all day. Getting enough water will be a challenge during class without a water bottle.
Nutrition will also be important. Have breakfast before you come to school and bring snacks you can eat between classes in addition to lunch. Between meals and snacks, make sure you are getting protein.
There will be a few changes to our weekly schedule. We will no longer be doing weight lifting sessions in the morning. We will now do those after practice on Monday and Wednesday, which will mean longer practices those days. This will also change morning run. The track and locker rooms will still be available for morning runs, but they can be done at home.
Weekly schedule:
Monday August 15 - 30 minute morning recovery pace run - 2:25 pm team meeting in room 433. After meeting we will be doing a fartlek workout and then strength work in the weight room
Tuesday August 16 - 30 minute morning recovery pace run - 3 pm meet by storage room for easier run then core
Wednesday August 17 - 30 minute morning recovery pace run 3 pm - meet by storage room for hill run then strength work after the run
Thursday August 18 - 30 minute morning recovery pace run - 3 pm meet by storage room - tempo run then core
Friday August 19 - 30 minute morning recovery pace run - early out day - 12:15 pm meet by storage room - pre-race run
Saturday August 20 - Freber Invitational - 6:30 am bus for Fremont High School
The team store is open and will be open for a week. There are a number items on the team store. I am encouraging all the athletes to get the team jacket. All other items are for athletes and/or parents.
The Premier Invitational will be at Big Cottonwood Regional Park (also commonly known as Cottonwood Complex) approximately 4300 S 1300 E. on Saturday August 13th.
We will have a bus for transportation to all our meets. All athletes are expected to be on the bus. If an athlete needs to leave early, an assumption of risk form must be filled out and left with the coaches before the athlete can leave.
The course is fairly spectator friendly with several vantage points where you can see the runners pass.
Schedule:
6:45 bus leaves Hillcrest
8:00 am Varsity Boys race
8:45 am Varsity Girls race
9:30 am JV Boys race
10:15 am JV Girls race
12:00 pm approximate return time to Hillcrest.
This is the last week of summer training before school starts next week and is the last week for summer mileage totals.
The workout plan will now flip, with the primary practices being in the afternoon and the recovery runs moving to morning. We will also change our meeting place. We will now be meeting in the space between the gym and fieldhouse.
Our first high school meet is Saturday, so registermyathlete, the $60 participation fees, and physicals need to be taken care of this week. The registration deadline is Thursday morning, so in order to compete in the first race, that will all need to be taken care of by Wednesday.
With the move to afternoon practices, hydration during the day is even more important as there will be more sweat loss. Small water bottles that can be carried may be beneficial on some of our runs. We will have access to water fountains on most of our runs, but they aren't always in convenient parts of the run.
Monday August 8 - 30 minutes morning recovery run 3 pm speed work and race tactics and techniques
Tuesday August 9 - 30 minutes morning recovery run 3 pm practice vine street run
Wednesday August 10 - 30 minutes morning recovery run 3 pm practice Highland run
Thursday August 11 - 30 minutes morning recovery run 3 pm practice tempo
Friday August 12 - 30 minutes morning recovery run 3 pm practice pre- race routines Ghostrider
Saturday August 13 - Premier Invitational bus leaves Hillcrest 6:45 am we return to Hillcrest around noon
We had a good morning with the time trial and breakfast. Thanks to the Canals for breakfast and all the parents who acted as race marshals directing traffic. After the last two years, it was nice to have a decent size group for the time trial again.
Race results can be found at athletic.net as will most of our race results for the season.
