onto jacksonville

NOTE: with all but a few now done competing for the season, we should mostly be in the time off period following the end of competition.  What this "break" period should look like is 5 days completely off from running and cross-training, but each day should contain 10-15 minutes of stretching, foam rolling, mobility work, leg swings, etc.  The next 5 days should be off of running, but can add cross-training such as walking, biking, swimming, etc, AND continue the 10-15 minutes of stretching, foam rolling, mobility work, leg swings, etc.  After this 10 day period, if feeling ready to return to running, can add 20-30 minutes of light running with 3-5 short strides at ~5k pace after the run, AND continue the 10-15 minutes of stretching, foam rolling, mobility work, leg swings, etc.  As needed, can take days off from running, but cross-train AND continue the 10-15 minutes of stretching, foam rolling, mobility work, leg swings, etc.  Gradually build into summer mileage.

exam week v.2023

NOTE: with exams this week, wanted to get practice schedule up asap.  Will update with workouts.  Obviously we want to finish the academic year strong.  Manage your time wisely.  Sleep as much as you can.  Plan meals, do not skip!  If you have conflicts with practice times, communicate with coaches.  Plan your week.  Once exams are over, plan for any move-out needs.  We are working to finalize ACC travel roster and will forward that information as soon as we can.
