Week 10: This week we did 100 meter sprints 6x with a 100 meter walk recovery resulting in completing a 1 mile. For game we practiced throwing, catching and running for the football.
Week 7: This week we spent some time working in doors cause it is super hot outside after school right now. We worked on burpees, lunges, A-Skips, jumping jacks and other exercises by following along Tony Hortons 22 Min. Hard Corp exercise.

Week 6: This week we spent some time working on our endurance once again. We also spent some time in the shade learning Crossnet. It took some time to learn but the athletes were able to get the hang of it at it at the end.

Week 5: This week we spent some time working on our endurance. Learning to pace yourself for a 15 min. run is very challenging. Everyone is different and we were able to run non-stop for the 15 minutes at different levels of fitness.
Thank you to Jaycen Fernandez in taking initiative and leading the warm-ups.

Week 4: This week we spent some time working as a team in a game of volleyball. We were able to successfully work on keeping the ball up for 15 bumps. It took a while but we eventually got it down through communication and determination. This volleyball drill also worked on agility by improving footwork.
We also was able to run an easy 9:15 min pace mile. It's important to learn how to run slow and controlled before you learn how to run fast.

Week 3 still focused on balance and strength. Using the Indo Board is a fun, low impact way of improving core strength, lower body joint stability and train for balance for all endurance athletes.
Working on team building by playing floor is lava.
Week 2 Focused on balance and strength. Balance is a crucial part of running as we are constantly balancing on one foot while running. Students found how difficult balancing can be while crossing the slack line. Four steps was the record in walking with out help before falling to the ground. We'll work on getting at least 5 steps next time.
Strength Workouts: Combat Ropes, Wood Choppers with Medballs, Jump Rope, & Kettle Bell Swings. Who knew jumping rope can be so challenging.
Week 1 went off to a terrific start. We are a small bunch but a great one, with 7 runners. We are looking for more runners, so if you are interested there is still time to join. We will be capping the team to 21 runners so don't wait too long.
