to the top brick by brick

First, some suggestions:
>you should report your mileage for last week and results for Tue & Fri workouts via text or email
>you should complete everything listed for practice each day and stay in the same routine of regular practice
>if you have any questions or any interruptions in training due to injury or illness, you should contact your coaches
>report back on Thursday, January 2, 2020

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

Let's close out an awesome fall semester with a great last week!  Below are the workouts and practice schedule.  Tuesday & Wednesday are the only days we will meet, but also listed is the suggested activity for rest of the week to prepare for the upcoming indoor season.  Beyond this week, the suggested training schedule over the holiday break will be on the blog each Sunday evening.  You should complete everything listed for practice each day and stay in the same routine of regular practice.  Report back date is Thursday, January 2, 2020. If you have any questions or any interruptions in training due to injury or illness, make sure you contact your coaches.  And if you have any questions, make sure you ask!  #juice
