Week 5 (7/12-16)

 Redhawks,

I hope you have all enjoyed the moratorium and are ready to get back to our regularly scheduled practices. We are about a month away from our first meet (schedule to be released soon), so we have a lot of work to do between now and then. Be sure to keep eating enough, hydrating well, and getting sufficient/regular hours of sleep.

There are several road races in the coming weeks that I have been given promo codes for. If you're interested in one of these events feel free to check them out. They have everything from the 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon. I don't recommend just jumping into a half marathon or a marathon, because obviously we haven't been training for those events and the jump in mileage creates greater risk of injury, but a 5K or 10K wouldn't be an issue - however be aware that the deseret news races are run on a steep downhill.

On 7/23 there are races in Salt Lake for the days of 47 parade, called the deseret news marathon, but includes all 4 race distances. High school athletes and their families have been given a promo code to use there: use the promo code "DN_HS21" to receive 25% off of the race registration for the 5k, 10k, half marathon, and marathon. And Family members can use the promo code "Conquer" to receive 10% off of registration. 

On 7/24 the handcart days races are here in Bountiful at the rec center. The promo code for $5 off of those events is TRACK5.

Keep in mind that practices begin at 7 AM - please be on time so we do not have to delay and so you don't miss time during the warm up.

On Tuesday/Thursday you should get in a easy or moderate run in for 40-50 minutes (30 for our new/young runners).
