Team, I will post the week’s training plan later this morning but wanted to get info for today out early.

We are going to cancel afternoon practice for two reasons:
1) It is beautiful and cool this morning and will be quite hot this afternoon. Run before noon and you will be glad you did. Today’s training plan below.
2) Support Eastern Soccer in district tournament! Eastern Girls Soccer competes at 4pm at Ballard. Eastern Boys Soccer competes at 6pm at Ballard. Several of our Track and XC teammates are on the soccer team and this is the start of their postseason. Go Eastern Soccer!

Today’s training plan:
Monday – Long Run
Long Runs will continue for a couple more weeks this season but are secondary to our workouts. This is especially true for athletes who have been struggling with injuries. If you are nursing shin pain, knee pain, hip pain, and the like we may keep the long run moderate and include more strength training and cross training.

Veterans- Up to 80 minutes
Newer Athletes- 50-60
Injured Athletes and Very New athletes- up to 45 minutes or cross training

Athletes are encouraged to meet and run together, but strongly encouraged to get out the door before lunch and enjoy the fall morning – because this afternoon will be hot!

Note: It is not going to work out for the team to go to the Horse Park this week.

The rest of the week’s training will be posted later today.
