transitions and changes

*TEXT LAST WEEKS MILEAGE TO COACH*

As we transition from cross country to the indoor track & field season, it's important that we make sure to rest and recover for a short time.  Make sure you read over the schedules below carefully.  On your own you should continue your own health and recovery plans and stay on top of your supplemental work, such as foam rolling, some dynamic work, etc.  And make sure you're in the training room as needed for any injury issues you have.

The fall season didn't end as planned, but we have made some good progress in advancing our fitness to higher and higher levels.  While we assess our results from the fall, let's also be confident in the things we're capable of once we begin racing again!

Lastly, going forward, while at practice and in the training room, the topics of pro sports and fantasy leagues are now off limits.  Knock yourselves out in the locker room and vociferously demonstrate your superior knowledge on those topics to your teammates, but leave the debates there once your exit for practice or recovery/treatment.
