Week 7

Week 7!!

Mad Props to these 6 Troopers who came and ran hills with me last week! They are champs and I'm proud of them. It will pay off. (Christian, Parker, Cart, Natalie, Sharlene, and Candace).  After talking to them and a few of you it sounds as though we could be doing a LOT better this summer... We literally have a month till we are basically in the season and starting. I want you to make it a goal to not miss a day of running in that span. I know a lot of you are vacationing and all over the place but you should be able to muster up 20-30 minutes out of a 24 hour day. No Regrets when the season starts!

Friendly reminder that you need to get your physicals before school starts so you can guarantee you can run in our first meet which comes up quickly. I will be up Tuesday so we need to plan a time that works best for everybody to run! I'll send out text.

Warmup - at least 800 meters or so, dynamic drills and leg swings before you run. Then another MILE easy jog after followed by stretching if needed.

JULY 20
Run 45 minutes at conversation pace. Good rest/stretch day for those that ran the half.

JULY 21
PRACTICE WITH FULLER... Time TBA. Check Texts tomorrow!

JULY 22
Run 30 minutes. 6 Strides (find 100yd flat stretch, build up speed every 2-yd until all out sprinting the last 20 yd. Work on good form while running strides hard)

JULY 23
HEAT RUN... Run in the heat of the day! 2x15 min runs @ race pace with 5 minutes rest in between... Don't forget water! Need to start training your body to run in the heat.

JULY 24
Cross Train 45 minutes. Bike, Swiming, Elliptical, Roller blades, Ultimate, anything different besides SOCCER which just breaks all athletes! :)

JULY 25
Slow easy run. Run 8-13 miles. These Saturday runs are INCREDIBLY important! These longer runs should be getting easier. Again, go find some trail or beautiful area to run.
