We're working on our competition schedule for the fall season, but for now an update on move-in dates. For those on campus, go to MY HOUSING for info on move-in dates and times for your dorm.
Returning Students & Transfers: move-in August 13
Both the team and GTAA will have functions during the following week before school starts. Before you make any other plans for this week, make sure you clear with coaches first. If you know of any conflicts, make sure you notify coaches as soon as possible.
With the annual training spreadsheets sent out, you should be following each week's suggested volume. For those that are not quite on the schedule yet, you should be communicating the the coaches on how to progress to the schedule. For those on schedule, add some short hill repeats or fast strides on Thursday. FYI, fast striding is not sprinting, rather a relaxed but quick stride with a focus on good technique.
Also, with summer officially here, the daily temperatures are on the rise. Make sure you are always paying attention to proper effort. This means not looking at the pace chart and being beholden to hitting a certain pace per mile. With high heat and humidity, your daily pace will be slower for a given effort. THAT IS NOT ONLY OK, BUT IMPORTANT THAT YOU LET IT BE SLOWER. Training in a hot climate can slow your pace down by as much as thirty seconds per mile. In fact, there is even new information out that demonstrates how running in direct sunlight will slow you down even further. It is important that you account for the weather conditions. Trying to hit a certain pace without doing so will take a toll on you through the summer, and will leave you fatigued during the fall season. SLOW DOWN if the weather conditions call for it!
Maintaining proper sodium levels is essential and a lot of sodium is lost while running. With the summer heat and humidity, sodium loss is even more extreme. The basic advice would be to make sure your are salting your food to taste when you eat. Drinking a sports drink, even adding a little salt to it, BEFORE and after runs is beneficial.
