Add up your total mileage for June and post it. It doesn't matter whether it was 15 miles or 150 miles, we need everyone to post.
Post your time from today's rollercoaster run. We had a number of people with big improvements and some first time finishers! Good job everyone! That lead pack looked strong!
On Saturday many of our athletes competed in the Junior Achievement 5K. Our girls took 3rd place overall and our boys took 2nd place overall. Both teams finished behind Davis High School. Davis is one of the top teams in the country for boys and girls and I think the race should give us confidence that our training is paying off. The race also shows us that we have a long journey ahead of us still if we want to reach our potential. That journey continues this week.The schedule has the mileage for this week staying the same as last week. If you have already had a week where your mileage has gone down or stayed the same then you should continue to increase it (3-5 miles/week). If you have increased every week so far then this week is an opportunity to keep it the same and to focus on recovery.
Monday: 4-8 miles trail run (OHS north lot) Tuesday: 4-8 miles rollercoaster run + strength training (OHS track) Wednesday: 0-6 miles easy + strides + core (Sugarhouse) Thursday: 5-10 miles long run + strength training (OHS track) Friday: 3-6 miles easy + core (Sugarhouse) Saturday: 4-7 miles w/ 10 min. brisk + strides + core (TBD) Total: 20-45 miles We will meet at Rio Tinto tomorrow at 7:00 AM for the 5K. Parking is on the west side of the stadium. We will meet at the race registration and packet pick-up area. If you have not registered yet you can still register at the race tomorrow. Once everyone has their packets we will go on a warm-up together and get ready to race.
Nice work today! As coaches we were especially impressed with how everyone worked together to push each other! Post the number of loops that you ran and your total time.
As we talked about at practice today, I was a bit disappointed with how our team finished out last week in terms of our commitment to get our runs in. Consistency and determination each and every day is what builds a champion. If you haven't been making practices, sleep, hydration, lifting, stretching, icing, eating well, etc. a priority then work to improve from where you are at right now. We have an opportunity to test ourselves this weekend and to finish the week of training on a high note with the Junior Achievement 5K on Saturday. There will be no team practice Saturday, so sign up for the 5K or else you will be on your own for a run if you can't make it. Some of you have already put in quite a few miles and it will be a lot of fun to see your progress so far this summer and to get even more excited for the fall. One other reminder, sometime in the next two weeks we will be posting the list of athletes invited to team camp. The decision will be made based on commitment to the team, practice attendance, ability level, and team leadership.

Our second week of summer training went very well. It was good to get in the routine of daily morning running. The morning running will allow us to get our miles in before it gets too hot out. Remember to bring a water bottle to practice and to continue to hydrate throughout the day after practice. Also, remember to bring a watch or work on getting one if you don't already have one. Lastly, bring a friend to practice or encourage some new people to join cross country, right now is the time to join while we are still building our miles. It's much harder to join in August. I'm looking forward to another strong week of training for our team as we start up some light workouts.
Monday: 3-7 miles trail run (OHS north lot) Tuesday: 4-7 miles rollercoaster run + strength training (OHS track) Wednesday: 0-6 miles easy + strides + core (Sugarhouse) Thursday: 4-8 miles long run + strength training (OHS track) Friday: 2-5 miles easy + core (Sugarhouse) Saturday: 3-7 miles w/ 8 min brisk + strides + core (OHS north lot) Total: 16-40 miles Our first week of training was outstanding in some ways and lacking in others. Over the course of the week we had many athletes come to practice which was excellent. We had some good training runs and kicked off our core work and strength training. On Saturday we even had the opportunity to run with multiple Olympians and American Record holders up in Park City with the Bowerman Track Club! The area we were lacking in was consistency, especially from our returning runners. If you are a returner on this team then you know how important consistent training is. We need each of you to help our team build this culture of consistency and to push each other for the betterment of our team. That means getting to practice daily or if you can't make it making sure to get out the door on your own. Make sure you are logging your miles and know how many you ran the first week when you come to practice tomorrow. See you in the north lot of OHS at 7:30 for our first trail run of the summer.
Monday: 2-6 miles trail run (OHS north lot) Tuesday: 3-5 miles medium + strength training (OHS track) Wednesday: 0-5 miles easy + strides + core (Sugarhouse) Thursday: 3-7 miles long run + strength training (OHS track) Friday: 2-5 miles easy + core (Sugarhouse) Saturday: 3-6 miles easy + strides + core (OHS north lot) Total: 13-34 miles |
