better late than never

Nothing like posting the weekly schedule on Wednesday night!  Sorry, it was a long and tiring week hosting our home invitational and it's taken awhile to get back going.  Below are schedules for various groups.  We're working on the training schedules for the upcoming year and hope to email them out in the next few weeks.  Most have met with us to evaluate the past year and give input regarding their training levels for the next year.  If you haven't met with us, please make arrangements to do so soon!

It's been another great year as we've seen some great accomplishments, a lot of personal bests, and tremendous growth in the depth of our team.  If we stay focused and committed to the training and recovery principles that we know work, it is exciting to think of how far we can go!

Over the past few years all of us have contributed greatly to the creation of the outstanding culture of our team.  All of us now share the responsibility to perpetuate that culture by staying connected to the team.  That means not just staying in touch with those you are closest to on the team, but staying connected with everyone.  This blog is a great place to do that!

Have a great summer!  If you have any questions, contact the coaches and BEGINNING NEXT WEEK PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU POST YOUR WEEKLY MILEAGE TO THE BLOG COMMENTS SECTION.

those just finishing the competition season:
take a two week break, no running.  BUT you should continue with daily stretching and mobility (leg swings, etc.) and some core work.  You can also do some light cross-training in the second week.  After two weeks, a return to running schedule will be posted that starts next sunday.  If you are one who already has taken a break and resumed running, continue on your own schedule and be prepared to get onto the training schedule once we send it out.
