Week 2 Update

Yesterday was another highly successful day for practice. We had 25 athletes turn out for practice even with finals approaching. Despite a rain storm the minute we left for the run it was a good day.

Here are some stats from the first week of practice:

• So far we have ran 460.5 miles this summer as a group and I know many of you have not entered your mileage from last week, so I know that number is higher. Once everyone has entered their mileage from week one I will give you another update, last summer we ran about 9,000 miles as a group. Lets beat that this summer!
• Congratulations to Ali, Andrea C., Gabby, Kristen, Matt, Michaela, Nathan, Nick, Paul, and Sam for earning all possible points so far (25), these athletes were at every practice and hit their mileage goals.

Shins sore?

If you are feeling some soreness from you shins with the start of running here are a few tips.

• Run on even soft surfaces as much as possible
• Do the heel walking and toe walking drill daily (remember to flair out and flair in)
• Check your shoes to make sure they are the right show for you, don't have too many miles on them,etc (Run 26 in Mill Creek is a good place to get an evaluation)

Training this week

Much the same as last week, double check your training plans, but most of you have the same mileage goal as week one.

Good luck at Finals, regular practices next week (Monday, Wednesday and Thursday) @ 3:00 AMHS.
