full volume

#MTM #chopwoodcarrywater #WILDDOGS ⬈🝚x🝚 #rememberthegoal #discipline #edify

Week 7, full volume is here. Continue to adjust paces for heat and humidity, and two aerobic threshold runs (aka Ae T or easy tempo) for both Tue and Fri.  The rest of your running for the week remains easy, 60-65%.  Thursday is an important day, whether 6-8 x 60-80m hill sprints or fast strides, don't neglect this day.

Simple, but not easy.  Stay the course, be patient.

Reminder, in preparation for the next phase of training, look for an approximately 200m long hill, on the order of Tech Parkway.  Not too steep to change running form.  Just a gradual rise to work against gravity.

Reminder of important dates...

Incoming first-year/transfers: move-in Sat-Sun, August 15-16
Returning Students: return Mon-Tue, August 17-18

Physicals for new people and for returning will be Tue, Aug 18.
Year-Beginning/Team Meeting will be Wednesday, Aug 19.
First practice will be in the AM of Thursday, Aug 20

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

As always, if unsure about anything, or have any questions, reach out.
