TRAINING WEEK OF 7/11/22

Now that most of you have completed your timed mile.

We want to continue running each week and put in mileage. A lot of you are new and have never run on a consistent basis as far as distance running goes.

So here is what I would like the NEW people to do vs. the experienced ones.

We are starting slow and  building up each week:

Experienced runners this week are expected to do about double of what the newer folks are doing.

Each day begin with an extensive warm-up and stretching routine. If you have a foam roller, USE it.

Four days of running on your own. Pick your days, but whenever you can, run with a member of the team.

Here are those that have secured a timed mile:

Emily -        7:45    (9:22 CT)    (8:37PPM)

Julieann -    7:31     (9:08 CT)    (8:23PPM)

Ellie -          7:45     (9:22 CT)    (8:37PPM)

Samantha -  7:30     (9:07 CT)    (8:22PPM)   

Audrey -      7:35     (9:12 CT)    (8:27PPM)

Ashley -       9:30     (11:07CT)    (10:22PPM)

Addison -     9:00     (10:37CT)    (9:52PPM)

Nevaeh -       8:33     (10:10CT)    (9:25PPM)

Mary Kate -  DECIDED NOT TO DO XC
