WEEK 2 SUMMER MILES!! (PRD)

WEEK 2 SUMMER MILES!! (PRD)

Hey everybody GREAT job on WEEK 1 of SUMMER MILES!!! 

 IMPORTANT INFORAMTION and CLARIFICASTION.

1. We have a meeting on Friday June 5^th where we will be given direction on how to proceed with the summer, Cross- season and practices. We will facilitate ALL information as SOON as We KNOW. 

 2. Be consistent with your running! Be patient!  Be smart and patient!

Most are probably feeling a little beat up from jumping up in mileage.  Don't try to get it all in right now. 

Let your body adjust and get stronger.  As it does this, you    will be able to add mileage and reach your goals! 

3. ALL RUNS NEED TO BE AT AN EASY PACE RIGHT NOW.  There will be a few pushes here and there (we will tell you specifically when),

but YOU MUST KEEP YOUR PACE EASY FOR NOW.   Let your bodies adjust to the mileage.  The speed stuff will come later! 

NO MEDIUM/MODERATE INTENSITY...AT ALL (unless we specifically tell you to)!

4. Don’t FORGET TO….Put your weekly mileage total on the blog.  The link is on the blog titled "2020 Summer Miles."    

To clarify, not everyone may know what we count as summer running, so please pay attention.

if you need to be biking (injury or just a change), YOU CAN ONLY COUNT 1/4th of your biking miles as running miles.  So, if you did a 8 mile bike ride, then you MUST put on Strava that you did miles.

Hiking and walking are not running.  They do not count as summer running miles, and do not create the same effect on our bodies as running does. 

NOW, THERE ARE SITUATIONS THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE A CHOICE...please talk to us, and of course we work around situations that come up such as: vacations, some camps, we have allowed those miles, or other situations...

just talk to us Coaches and we will help you!

5. as your Coaches (Quarez & Bowen) we are EXCITED about the WORK/MILES that are being RAN!! Keep up the AWESOME work.

This WILL pay OFF!

 

6. HYDRATE!! HYDRATE!! HYDRATE!! This is CRUCIAL that ALL of you are drinking WATER! This is the time to prepare and hydrate your self in preparation for the upcoming “HOT” months.

7. “HAVE FUN” We hope that you are seeing/feeling the benefits of even ONE week of summer miles. Again, be patient and continue to built your base.

8. If possible, get together in SMALL groups, encourage each other whether you ran together or not. GIVE KUDOUS on STRAVA, through the GROUP me,, ETC, anyway possible keep each other encourage.

Last, We as your coaches care and miss you ALL. Stay STRONG! KEEP RUNNING!, And most important KEEP BELIEVING!! 

Here is some thoughts on SUMMER MILES from An OLYMPIC runner.

(SO you know it is NOT just your COACHES!!)  Good TIPS!!!
