Fall'19 countdown begins

A  week and a half before we're all back together...

You should have received emails from our Compliance Office and/or Sports Medicine with instructions on how to fill out and submit forms that are needed before you can start practice.  These forms should be completed and submitted by the end of this week.  IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE FORMS, CONTACT US!

Workouts for this week:

Tue*:  10-12 x 1' @ either 6k or 8k goal pace with 2-3' easy recovery
Fri:  3' + 5' + 3' + 5' + 3' @ ~85%, r= 2' @ ~65%

*make sure you are taking the full recovery and running EASY during the recovery, OR you can run a hill fartlek if you have a hilly route, just run strong up the hill and again make sure you have plenty of easy recovery between.

Things to note (repeated from last week):

*FRESHMEN: will move into your school year housing assignment early when you arrive for the Jump Start Jackets program on Thursday, August 15th.

*UPPERCLASSMEN: should also move in on Thursday, August 15th, and those in on-campus housing will incur early move-in charges from housing that will show up on your bursar's account, along with a credit from the Athletic Association to cover those charges.

Most important now is that you are checking your email as you should be receiving information from compliance and the training room to fill out forms online.  It is important that everyone fill out and submit all required forms before arriving back on campus.  If you have any questions, make sure you reach out to someone to get whatever info you need!
