Practice Schedule February 13th -- 17th

Note: Injuries and sickness have once again impacted our roster this past week. Although I'm really proud of Nick for bouncing back as quick as he did from his cold. I think for Thursday's track workout, we had more girls not running the workout than actually running the workout!


We ended the week before (Sunday) with an easy day, Monday was really supposed to be a "medium" day, with Tuesday a "Long" day, and therefore, a "hard" day for most. Wednesday off, followed by Thursday as our really "hard" day! Except, for what I said above about the girls above. Friday easy, then at yesterday's "Captain's Practice" only one girl showed up... and yes I do understand the fact that all Jr. girls are suffering in SAT prep class. And I'm guessing most people aren't running today... since the weather's icky. Meanwhile, you're competition in the Valley trains... and improves.


So I don't understand the injuries when there are plenty of recovery days here (Sunday, Wednesday, Friday). 

Here we go:

All pick-ups at 5:30... except for Tuesday.

Monday
Long run... should utilize as much of the golf courses as possible. Watch the weather... Sunday night we are forecasted to receive another half-inch.

Tuesday
Given the forecast... and the fact that some want a chance to run in the Skydome prior to our first meet on 3/7, we'll join Run Flagstaff at 6:30 for their workout.

Report to the Skydome at 5:15 for a "Big Warm-up."

Pick up at ~8:15?

Wednesday
Off... unless you were "off" today, and if you were one of the MIA girls (Ge, Uli, Rach, Jazz, Andi et. al.).

Thursday
Mile on the track/hills/mile on the track... remember this workout from last month? Should be killer, except for those who will be walking around the infield nursing their various injuries.

Friday
Some easy

Saturday
LONG, Long, long. TBD

Sunday
Recovery run... On your own.

Practice Schedule February 6th -- 11th

Note to all: Thanks for showing up at the Skydome for Keven's race. I'm sure it meant a lot to her, but it also meant much to me to see you all there!

We begin this week with the official beginning of the track season, which really means that every school in AZ begins in earnest, which we've been doing since... when December?

Assume all pick-up times at 5:30.

Monday
Bring your flats/spikes as well start with a medium run on the golf course (we've got to utilize this space since in the past at this time of the year, it is covered in snow, and later, it'll be closed due to some fat people known as "golfers" wanting to use this area!).

After a "medium" distance run, well finish on the track to 3x4 (or 3) 300 at full effort. To be followed by drills.

Tuesday
A long run is the plan.
Strides/Stanfords

Wednesday
AM run.
PM off.

Thursday
5x1000 on the track

Friday
Recovery... easy run, drills, stanfords, etc.

Saturday
Long run -- We'll meet at 9 AM, but where will be determined later in week.

Sunday
Recovery

Practice schedule -- Jan 30...

Today...

I'm looking at a week from Monday (February 6th) as the first official practice...

More important is any one (Dom? Andrew? Keven?...) interested in running on Saturday in the meet entitled, "NAU Open."

Pickup for all practices will be between 5:15 - 5:30.

Monday

A medium distance run; 3-6 miles @ a pace considered "sub-tempo" finishing on the track hard 3x300's.

Tuesday

Long-Slow... strides/drills/stanfords

Wednesday
Morning run

Thursday
Oh... we'll need to re-group prior....

Practices for January 23 -- 28

Note: Hey, what a great couple of weeks we've had! Please let's continue to stay healthy and stack our workouts (ie, stay consistent!).

Monday
A horrible weather day forecasted so please dress warmly, and remember that you can take layers off, but if you don't have them and need them, you could never put layers on.

Due to the forecast, we are going to keep this run short as well as easy. Some strides / drills post-run, and then standfords.

Tuesday
Weather forecast still not great.
We'll schedule a tempo run
A - Wakonda
B - Soliere
C - ?

Wednesday -- off

Thursday
Better weather forecasted
We'll do a repeat of a workout that we did a few weeks ago
