Team Pictures
Team pictures are on Monday, please bring your uniform. If you do not have a uniform you cannot be in the team picture.
Dave Sanders Recap
We had another very successful weekend of racing! For the second week in a row, most of our athletes "raced up" a division from where they might normally run. I thought we handled it very well and the results speak for themselves.
Go to the Doctor If You Get Sick
This is a time of year where many of our athletes tend to get sick. Your best defense to avoid being sick is taking care of your sleep, nutrition, and hydration. With that said, getting sick may be unavoidable, but you do not have to stay sick for long. Continue to take care of the "little things", but the coaches recommend that if you get sick, to get to the Dr. ASAP to help knock out whatever sickness you may come down with. We are approaching the most important races of the season, and we want every member of our 90 person roster to be ready to go in the next few weeks!
Running Doubles This Week
In your training peaks you will notice that doubles are listed a little differently this week. We are giving athletes the choice how to break up your double runs. For example, if you have 70 minutes of total running on the day broken up between 2 runs, you choose how to break up the runs. This could be 2 runs of 35 mins, 2 runs of 30 and 40 mins, or any combination that works best for you. The important thing is to get in your miles!
If you are not doubling, but see a double listed, do this. Split the total number of minutes in 1/2 for the day and add 10 mins. For example, if you see 70 mins total on the day, but are only running one run divide 70 in half (35 mins) and add 10 mins (45 mins of total running that day). This will tell you how much you should be running that day.
Looking Ahead at Leagues, Regionals, State, and NXR
The most important TEAM competition of the entire season is the League meet, which is on Wednesday, October 14th. Every year, it is our TEAM goal to win all 6 races at the Continental League Championships. However, for many of our athletes this may be your last meet of the season. Here are a few things we would like everyone to be aware of:
