June 8th-14th: Training Peaks Calendars

Individualized Training Calendars in Training Peaks 
As mentioned before, we will be using the Training Peaks  website this summer in-order to individualize training plans for all high school athletes that have registered for camp. Every other week, your individualized training plan will be updated so that you know what that 14 day block of training will look like for you. 

Registered middle school campers will also have access to Training Peaks so that you can log your daily runs.

If you have not set up a Training Peaks account yet please check your email for the directions in order to do so. If you did not receive the email please contact me at jhdalby@dcsdk12.org and I will send you the registration information

How Should You be Using Training Peaks?
There are  a few things that we are asking every member of the TEAM to do with Training Peaks.

1. Before coming to conditioning each day, take a look at your individualized training plan in your Training Peaks calendar for that day.
2. If you are out-of-town, or cannot make it to conditioning, take a look at your Training Peaks calendar to see what your run is for that day so that you can get it in on your own. 
3. Look in Training Peaks to see what your runs are for the weekend. 
4. After each run take 30 seconds (literally) to go into your Training Peaks calendar on either your phone, or computer. Type in how far you ran that day, and at what pace. 
5. There are a lot of other options in Training Peaks that you can play around with, and additional information you can add if you choose to do so. However, Selle and I are only asking that you log your daily mileage and pace. The rest is optional. 

Free vs Premium Training Peaks Account
There is no additional cost associated for you to use Training Peaks. You may notice, however, that there is a premium option that you can subscribe to. The premium option is unnecessary for you to have, but a few of you may like some of the features that come with it. I you decide to buy the premium option come see me first and I will give you a discount code that you can use. 

Goal Setting BBQ's
The days for the goal setting BBQ's were changed to the following dates by our upperclassmen last week. Both goal setting meetings are for all HS members of the TEAM including the incoming freshman. 

• Boys Goal Setting Meeting: Thursday, June 11th at 5:00 p.m. Check email for location address.
• Girls Goal Setting Meeting: Monday, June 15th at 5:00 p.m. Check email for location address.

The goal setting meetings are for every member of the TEAM to attend that can make it, and something I consider to be the most important TEAM meeting of the entire year. It sets a purpose for our training and allows us to set a focus for the season.
