Practice Schedule -- 4/23 through 5/4

Notes on the Glendale Meet
Heat may have been just a bit oppressive -- especially for those in the 3200! The only PR's were for those running the event for the first time, and Jacobs in the 1600 (by less than a second... so it doesn't really count... does it?).
I'm looking through some old workout notes and I found results from a 3200 time trial. It was run prior to when Gabs and Gee quit. See if you remember these times:
Dom - 10:20
Andrew - 10:28
Jon - 10:30
Nick - 11:07
Keven - 11:47
Andrea - 12;17
Grace - 14:11
Rachel - 16:10
Chelsea - 16:55
Can this be correct? If true, shouldn't we be running a heck of a lot quicker today?

Okay, back to the drawing board:

Monday
400s all out
Upperclassmen will run 8
Others will run 6

All pick-ups at 5:30 except on "big warm-up" days (Monday and Thursday of NEXT WEEK)

Here's who's running what:

800
Andrew
Nick
Dom
Grace

3200
Cullen
Rachel
Andrea
Chelsea

Running events start at 1 PM, and that's all the schedule states. I've sent an email to the meet director to ask if he knows approximately what time the 800 might begin (so we don't have to be there for hours and hours before the start of our event). I have a feeling that it's going to be very hot down there).

Practice Schedule beginning week of 4/2 and Updated for the Week of 4/8

Note: I'm just going to update this original blog post starting with Sunday...

In review of this past week, there were some very, very good workout run by all of you. Especially Thursday, and Dom's closing mile in today's tempo (5:35, with a fairly good size hill, into the wind and on gravel... nicely done, Dom!).


I think Andrew summed up Thursday's workout best when he said, "That's the fastest I ever ran!" Amen.


I appreciate the effort you all put in this last week. Thank you.

Note: Results from Friday's race still not posted. Although this is a weekend where we don't race, we will practice, and I expect you at all practices.

Friday

Sunday
See what we did last Sunday for a workout, then add strides to this.

Next meet will be on either Friday, 4/20 at Mingus, or 4/21 at Glendale (why I'm hesitating on the Glendale meet is due to it being run in the afternoon... and we just aren't acclimated to the heat).
