Redhawks,
We had a phenomenal first week. Many of you were able to come all 5 days, and many were able to work some of the days into a busy first week of summer, which we appreciate. This group seems ready to work and get better, which can be rare for a group with so many young/new runners. We have a lot of new faces, and I can definitively say that we are better because of you. Let's continue to work hard this next week, and every week.
This week is going to look a little different as we will only be officially practicing on Monday and Wednesday (the following week we will be going Monday/Wednesday/Friday). You can find the schedule below.
On Tuesday/Thursday when we are not practicing you should be running on your own, just your standard distance running. For new and young runners, 20-30 minutes, for more experienced runners, 30-40 minutes. Friday or Saturday should be a day that you try to push yourself in terms of time, and see if you can improve your time a bit; for new runners, try to get 30 minutes if you haven't yet, and experienced get to 50 minutes. To increase your time like that you may need to slow down your pace, and that is OK, the increased pace work will come on the days we are together, and later in the season. For now we are just trying to build a base and get used to running for that much time.
Reminder to please pay the $50 in the office ASAP. I will be ordering the shirts this week (which means they should get here in July sometime), so please indicate which size you would like, preferably on your receipt, but an email will work too - as long as you have already paid.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Coach Jacobson
Practices begin at 7 AM
