ringin' in 2018

Again, some reminders:
>text or email your weekly mileage, and results for Tue workout
>make sure you are back on campus on Tuesday, January 2, 2018

ASSIGNMENT:
text coach a performance statement, so far about 65% of women and 50% of men have participated.
*to review, a performance statement is a simple, yet specific, form of positive self-talk that identifies the process of success for you, or what it takes for you to perform at your best.  Think more like a brief personal performance mantra you can repeat to yourself as you approach a race to keep you positively focused on what you need to to in the race.

COMPETITION:
We plan to take a fairly large number to compete this weekend.  Some will race (600m through 5000m) outright, some will run race (600m or 1000m) as a workout with some threshold work included afterward.  With the ACC meet being held on this track in late February, it's important to get familiar with the feel of a banked 200m track.

First, some reminders:
>text or email your weekly mileage, and results for Tue & Fri workouts
>make sure you complete everything listed for practice each day

ASSIGNMENT:
text head coach a performance statement
*a performance statement is a simple, yet specific, form of positive self-talk that identifies the process of success for you, or what it takes for you to perform at your best.  To construct your personal performance statement, imagine yourself as your coach, and you, the runner, are one minute away from toeing the line in the most important race of your career.  What are the last words of advice that you, the coach, gives to you, the runner?  This will serve as your first "rough draft" at a performance statement for yourself.

holidays2017.1

First, some reminders:

Things to think about over the holiday break:
>what do you want to achieve in 2018, what will you do to achieve it
>think big, work hard, be positive
>be 3% better than ever, make our team better than ever
>have pride in your work, have pride in our team


As we approach the new year, know that all that each of you do for our team is appreciated.  Your commitment to excellence in academics and athletics is important and your efforts are impressive.  The road to the top is never easy, is often trying, and always full of ups and downs...but know that the top is within your reach and trust that it is your destiny.

Regarding the Tuesday and Friday workouts, if you have access to a measured path, use it.  If not, use a track at least for Tuesday.  If you don't have access to measured path or track, adapt the workouts and just use time and effort as your guide.

morning joy...and then some

"The singer can easily move us to tears or to laughter, but where is he who can excite in us a pure morning joy?" - Henry David Thoreau in 'Walking'

Last Saturday morning, we saw how we can be moved by sport.  What a thrilling run, what a display of courage and will, of heart and soul.  How the effort of one can lift many, and the hope of many can lift one.  For the strength of the Swarm is the Yellow Jacket, and the strength of the Yellow Jacket is the Swarm.

Now as we begin to switch gears to the upcoming track season, I thought it might be a good time to revisit an old phrase introduced several years ago..."and then some".

"and then some", what does that mean? It means everything. Give all you've got, and then some. Care a lot, and then some. Be a great teammate, and then some. Encourage others often, and then some. Go the extra mile, and then some. Strive as hard as you can, and then some.

Remember that phrase, "and then some", consider it a team motto, if you will. Use it as a personal motto, even better.

nattys and the mighty mitochondria

On to Louisville, back to E.P. Tom Sawyer Park, and on the the NCAA National Championships! Congrats to Nahom and congrats to both the men's and women's teams...a great fall season continues!  See below schedules for everyone and make sure you are checking your Teamworks email regarding updated info for the rest of the fall semester and required days off.  As you contemplate these days off, know that no activity is required per NCAA rules. Thus, no penalties can be levied by the coach.  But the gods of Aerobic Endurance do not operate under NCAA rules and they will extract big penalties for continued time off.  And they will do this with the mighty mitochondria, better known as the powerhouses of the cell.  Through aerobic training we increase both the number and the size of the mitochondria, and this development is extraordinarily important in your success as a runner. In a study by Dr Olbrecht, it was found that "half the increase in mitochondria from five weeks of training may be lost in one week of de-training (time off).  Keep this in mind over the next few weeks!

rammer jammer, yellowhammer, give'em hell, (in) alabama

Great regional opportunity this week in Tuscaloosa!  Let's take care of the little things that we continue to talk about and be ready to have an awesome race.  Fall break gives us a great chance to rest a little this week before the championship season drive.  Our program is team-centered, athlete-driven.  So the stage is set and your hands are on the wheel.  Where we goin'?

Switching gears, Gainesville (FL) native Tom Petty passed away recently.  Yesterday at the end of the third quarter of the LSU vs UF football game in Gainesville, the crowd paid tribute to their lost son.  WATCH IT below!  How awesome to touch people with your talent as Tom Petty did.  You may not realize it but each of us has that same opportunity every day, just maybe not 90,000 people at a time!  But recognize, develop, and use your talent always...make a difference.

ain't nobody got time for irma

A lot of uncertainty with the weather as we begin the week.  In addition, music midtown in the park this weekend means the park will be inaccessible.  While the Tue/Fri workouts are listed as "tbd" at this point, most likely Tue will be threshold-oriented and Fri will involve some type of long repeats.  Regardless, the work will be on point and we will continue our quest to take our fitness to a HNL!
