Take a few minutes and total up your June miles to post below. This is a great time to evaluate your consistency during the first month of summer training. We have one more month until official practice begins. Make sure you are fit and ready to go at that point. This next month we will continue to build miles and get in a race at the Deseret News 10K. Set a mileage goal for July and make the necessary sacrifices to achieve it. Work hard to get to know your teammates better, hold each other accountable, and keep this journey going strong. I am proud of the work many of you put in this June and hope that the rest of you will consider this a challenge to work a little bit harder and are ready to meet that challenge!
Good effort in the workout today. Make sure you are helping your body recover and acclimate to the heat by staying hydrated and getting good sleep! Focus on the injury prevention ideas that we discussed today as well!
Post your time/number of hills. My goal for the team this week is to finish the week strong. Over the last few weeks I have seen a trend of having great numbers at the beginning of the week and then only a few athletes by Saturday. Commit to being at all of the practices you can and remember the importance of each run!
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: 3-7 miles easy + core (OHS north lot) Total: 19-45 miles Great job today! Impressive work on the hills and battling the heat. Post the number of loops you did and your time if you know it.
The first two weeks of summer training are in the books. Time to reflect on the work you have done so far. Are you on a path to consistency, working hard and chasing after your full potential as a runner? Make any necessary adjustments and get stronger each and every week. I was very excited with our numbers last week, I think the 42 athletes we had on the Pipeline trail last Monday may have been a new summer practice record! Keep on bringing your friends and recruiting anybody you think might be interested!
Monday: 4-8 miles trail run (OHS north lot) Tuesday: 4-8 miles Craig's Cruisers + strength training (OHS track) Wednesday: 0-6 miles easy + strides + core (Sugarhouse) Thursday: 4-9 miles long run + strength training (OHS track) Friday: 3-6 miles easy + core (Sugarhouse) Saturday: 3-8 miles progression run + core (OHS north lot) Total: 18-45 miles Great introduction to tempo work today. I was impressed with how many of you completed the entire loop and how many of you challenged yourselves. That is what it is all about. Nice job!
Post your time or number of hills as a comment. Nice job last week! 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 **No team practice on Saturday. If you are not running the 5K it is up to you to get a run in on your own or with teammates.
A number of our athletes are competing in the Junior Achievement 5K on Saturday morning. Because the race is so early in our training cycle this year I would like it to be run as a tempo workout, not a true race. Run in packs with your teammates and then if you feel good you can push at the end. The race starts at 8:00 AM, meet at Rio Tinto Stadium at the packet pick-up by 7:00 AM. Once everyone has their packets we will warm-up as a team. If you have not signed up you can still register online or at the race. Use the link below for more information or to register.

Our season kicks off as a team on Monday. Our preparation this summer will determine how good we can be this fall. #summerofgreatness 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 each week when you come to practice on Mondays. See you in the north lot of OHS at 7:30 for our first trail run of the summer.
