As camp winds down it's time to start to gear up for the upcoming season! One more week of easy running and then you should begin the structured training week found in your summer notes tab. If you have questions regarding the workouts make sure you contact us. For beginning paces, remember to use the pace chart with the thought of "where am I at right now". Be conservative with your beginning paces. We're looking for the high end of aerobic and NOT anaerobic. Also, with the heat and humidity most are dealing with, be extra careful with the paces.
Have fun!

summer heating up
*All reporting of weekly mileage should now be to the comment section of the blog.
It's great to see all the posts with your mileage and other comments. No doubt, the heat and humidity are cranking up in the south after a mild start through early July. As we've said before, just run how you feel and don't worry about the pace of your runs. It's ok to be slower than when you're back at school, getting the volume in is the primary goal at this stage of training.

summer roll call
*All reporting of weekly mileage should now be to the comment section of the blog.
Back again this summer is our Summer Roll Call. What's required of you if you choose to participate is a picture of you in preferably a GT track & field or cross country shirt...though any GT shirt will do. Try to take the picture so as to give us some context of how/where you're spending your summer break. Text the picture to Asst Coach and it will be uploaded to the Georgia Tech Track & Field and Cross Country facebook page. Participation is highly encouraged!
Also, if you read through last week's comments, Allison has arranged to have the ice tubs filled in the locker room training room one evening each week for those around campus who want to take advantage of this opportunity for recovery. The latest info is that the day has been changed to Thursday evenings. Thanks Allison!
Lastly, the USA Junior Nationals is on tap this weekend in Eugene, OR. Melissa and Hayley K will race the 5000m on Sunday evening. We will also be represented by two incoming freshmen...Bailey will jump Saturday late afternoon in the women's high jump and Marinice will race in the women's 400m Hurdles on Saturday afternoon. Good luck to everyone competing!
