Meet and Greet Friday at 6:30 PM at Track

I will be at the track tonight from 6:30 to 7:30 PM if you want to come by and say hello and have an informal chat.

Tomorrow, we start practice at 7 AM. We will have some introductions, an overview of the schedule for the two practices for Saturday, then move into training.

If you haven't been running much or at all this summer, don't worry. We are going to break the time run or time trial (TT) into 2 groups. Group 1 will be for those who will run a 1 mile run. Group 2 will be for those who will run a 3 mile run.

During TT 1, Group 2 runners will take down splits and right down times of Group 1 runners.

During TT 2, Group 1 runners will take down splits and right down times of Group 1 runners.

Before each run, we will do a pre-race warm-up appropriate for the distance.

After we are done with the time trials, we will do some basic cool down and get an introduction to 2 core strength activities. We will add core strength and leg strength activities each day until we have a full set. We will try to do 30 minutes of strength work each day.

I am now thinking practice will last 2 hours Saturday morning. Eat something light, bring your fluids with running gear, and a journal/composition book and pen/pencil.

See You at 7 AM Saturday,

Coach Ellmore
