We are in week 4 of summer running and the first week of morning practices. Attendance has been down this week due to many athletes being on vacation, but I still want to encourage you all to get to practice and be there if you are in town. We started a new strengthening and core routine this week and it is great if you can be there.
New Core Routine
Every practice from this point forward will start with the following core routine
15 push ups
Lie on back and make a U with your hands pointed to the sky and toes to the sky, remember strait legs, hold for one minute
15 push ups
sit on your bottom with legs extended strait in front of you, pick them up off the ground, lean back so that you are making a V with your body, keep back strait and legs strait, cross arms over your stomach or chest. Hold for 1 minute
15 push ups
lie on back, swing both legs as far to the right as they will go, keeping them off the ground, it will look kind of like an L, hold for one minute, relax, and do the same thing on the other side... hold for a minute
15 push ups
do a double crunch, lie on back, legs up, hand behind head pull towards the center of your body (belly button) with legs and upper body. Repeat crunches until 1 minute has passed
With our core work, remember the phrase time over tension!!!!
Week 3 mileage update:
Through week three we have run an amazing 1373 miles. That is the distance between AMHS and San Diego, CA. Nice work everybody. We have more miles to be counted as not everyone is up to date so get that work in!
Next Week
I am on vacation next week in Chelan. So I won't be at practice, but I still want you there. Remember I am logging points for every practice attended and mileage goal met. Annie will be in charge of running core workout above and drills. See you all soon I will update again next week, take care and happy running :) DYB everyday everyway!!!!
