Upcoming Schedule and Meet Change Announcement
THIS WEEK'S MEETS This week we go to Clay City on Thursday and Brown County on Saturday. I have attached the files with full meet info to this post, but you can also click on the name of the meet from our Meet Schedule page to open it there too. NEW MEET!! We are also excited to announce a new meet we were able to get in this year. Instead of going to Crawford County (which was a neat meet on a beautiful course), we are going to the Trinity/Valkyrie Invitational in Louisville. This is a highly competitive meet, with teams from 8 states in attendance last year, so we will see some competition that we don't get to see. We believe this will be a great addition to our schedule, and are looking forward to it. As of right now (Sunday) it appears that our girls team will be in the "Seeded" (Elite) race, and the boys will be in the Varsity race, with a few in the Frosh/Soph race. The link to the meet is here, but it is also linked from the name of the meet in our Meet Schedule page. That site has all the info about the meet, including course maps for the 5K (Varsity/Seeded races) and the 4K course (Frosh/Soph races). |
Meet Info: Columbus
Please meet at the Shelter House before 6:45. The first race is at 9 and it takes more than an hour to get there, so we need to be out right at 6:45 to allow plenty of time to warm up. The Info Sheet is attached to this post, that has start times and a link to directions, and all that. But Boys run at 9, girls at 9:30. It should be a great day for racing and we will be looking for execution of an assertive race plan from our team. Get amped up, and lets get ready to go crush it! |

First Time Ever
Thank you to all the parents who helped make this meet happen. This was the first time in the 6 year history that our boys and girls have swept the team titles for our home invitational! The kids should really be proud of their efforts! It was so exciting to watch it happen, and be able to go coach along the course, knowing that this meet was being run and managed by an incredibly generous and helpful group effort. I know that I am going to miss someone and I apologize for it ahead of time, but the Crains and Abels and Goughs deserve a particular applause for the course conditions. Between their efforts and Mr. Hammet's help getting it ready these past few weeks, this is honestly one of the nicest courses we get to run on. And to Tammi who has been my main contact person for all things concessions related, I can not thank you enough. You guys don't know how much I appreciate being able to let go of some of those things...those that have known me for a while know I have trouble with that sometimes! :) But it was easy to do, knowing that this event was in the hands of people who take pride in this event as much as I do. |
Meet Info: Early Bird at Terre Haute
The 2019 Season is ready to kick off!! We travel to the course where the state finals will be held in November, to start our competition season. NEW MEETING LOCATION THIS SEASON: We will now meet at the Shelter House, on our course. Our awesome new storage building houses all of our race day gear, so our bus pickup and drop off will now be there. We need to meet at 6:45, with a planned departure at 7 sharp. Athletes, please make sure you are there at 6:45, so we have plenty of hands on deck to load up. Boys race first this season, and will start us off at 9 AM , with the girls race at 9:45. We expect that the schedule will be kept, and the girls will actually race at 9:45. Full information is attached to the file with this post. We should arrive back home sometime around 1:00, but will have athletes contact parents as we are leaving the facility in Terre Haute to head back home. Any questions, give me a ring. I believe y'all have my number by this point, or you can hit up the GroupMe chat. |

2019 Early Bird Meet Letter.pdf
Pictures Cancelled
We are going to have a lot of people out of town on Saturday, so we are going to push the pictures back and just hand out uniforms and do those on Monday before our workout. We are also going to adjust our workout that was planned for that day. With Saturday being two weeks away from our first meet, we wanted to have a strong effort in our schedule on Saturday so our bodies can start adapting to our training cycles to include that. We are setting up the week's schedule to culminate with this and this will be a very short practice. We will not be doing any ancillary stuff on Saturday but will warmup, do the workout, cooldown and stretch. It is a shorter workout planned, but will be fast, and we should be able to be done within an hour. We will meet at 7:30 at Flatwoods and will be done by 8:30, if everyone is there. Of course, if you are one of the folks out of town, we will miss you but understand. Talk to one of your coaches about it on Friday to get the workout so you can get it in on your own. |
Week 8-Make the days count
This week we are going to be getting a little more back in the swing of things. We get some more people back from vacations and we have some who were on a lower mileage week last week, getting back on their next buildup. The workouts start building some volume a bit, and we introduce some new elements into the training. Each thing planned for the week will challenge us in ways that will make us better IF we can approach each part of it the right way.

We also have a lot of folks who are going to be gone for various things throughout the week. Each day I am giving you a range of times/distances with the things we are doing. Make sure to adjust it according to your plan. Plan out your mileage for the week in your log books, and then have them ready to hold yourself accountable to.

Week 2-Making The Days Count
If we want to maximize our opportunities to improve this season, we should understand that each day is an opportunity. Each day we have something that we can do to make ourselves better. We have more than just running, though that is a key piece of course. We have our strength work and our core work. If you were with us last week, then this schedule is what you can expect. If this week is your first week back, then the runs and the strength work routines may be adjusted down to ease you into our progression. MONDAY 20-25min total 4-5x5 min (each progressively faster. Start getting a feel for what a pace “feels like” (60%-70%-80%-90%-95%). 2min rest between the 5 minute sets. Gambetta after the first set, then hit set 2-5 keeping the “effort” pace progression. Gambetta #1 (4 sets, 30s rest and 1min rest) (10-5E-5E-5) 30-60 minute run in pace groups (30 for new, up to 60 for vets) TUESDAY 30-60 minute run in pace groups (30 for new, up to 60 for vets). Dont overdo it early, but dont short change yourself either. These early summer longer runs are a great way to start building up a base that you will be glad to have later on. Body Core 30s Preventive Routine (Lower Leg stability routine) Foam Rollers and Ropes (Teaching session) WEDNESDAY 10 minute easy jog Start w/ Hip/Glute Routine 25-40 minute run in pace groups Gambetta #2 Gambetta #2 (2 sets) -20x lunge step w/ twist -20x body squat -40x quick step up --5x Rocket Jumps Hip/Glute Routine Fire Hydrants Donkey Kicks Donkey Whips Bird Dogs 3-way raises Forward Circles Backward Circles THURSDAY 40-50 minute Negative Split **2mi TT if still haven’t gotten one Foam Rollers and rope stretches (teaching session) FRIDAY Dynamic Core Routine to start 30-40 min XC Course for Time Weight Room 6x30s jumprope with strides on grass 30minutes ultimate frisbee Weight Room-Deadlift and HangClean WEEKEND Log those miles. Get those bases built. Again, it is important to get that time spent running under your belt. It is important that new athletes are starting to build the habit of consistent mileage buildup. For returning runners, it is important that you start this summer session applying lessons learned from prior ones, and make sure to make these days count. |
