Way to go team,


We are fullstride in the mid-season.  This is the time we typically start to break down, get tired, bored, and mentally we can start to shut down.  DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN TO YOU!  Stay excited, and eager each week to improve and feel stronger and faster.  Even though I expected some slower times this week, there were still plenty of you that just blew it out.   Great job!


I downloaded all of the video and will get it to coach Alan this week so he can prepare it for the website.  The gopro did awesome and catching you guys in action was a lot of fun.


This week we make a shift to a little shorter distance, but faster and flatter workouts.  Now is the time to begin fine tuning your muscles.  Just think, you aren't even running your fastest yet, the best is yet to come. 

 

I want to encourage you to check the results for the first 3 races to see how you are placing in the conference.  Try to take another position this week.  It is impossible to accurately compare your times between courses, how you place or how close you are getting to the next person in front of you is a better indication of improvement.  So work hard this week in practice and go get a spot on Saturday.  El Cariso is this weeks course and I believe you are in for another treat.  Although the course is a little slower, it is a great park.  No major hills, but lots of thick grass is what makes it a little slower.  It's a great spectator course allowing you to see just about the whole course from one spot.  Bring your binoculars:-)   


Don't forget about hydration.  Remember to prepare during the day for practice. Let's gear up for the week, I hope you can't wait, I sure can't!


See you Monday night!
Coach Jeremy
