Don't forget to hydrate!! Practice after school this week 8/7 and 8/8.
Summer conditioning has concluded, the season has started!!
The majority of summer conditioning is led by the team captains and leaders, some will be coach led.
Each week we will rotate locations of the runs/workouts/activities.
We strive to meet at least 2-3 days a week (sometimes more) as a team in June and July. Locations and times of meet ups will be posted on this website and via the Remind App. We will try to meet at the same location during each weekday.
For example:
Mondays: Veterans Park North
Tuesday: Miners (meet at Woodbridge Park)
Wednesday: RHS Track or Johnson Springview
Thursday: rotate locations
Friday: Cavitt Middle School
It is summer time so if you cannot join, that’s ok enjoy your summer break and work out with your family or on your own. Bike, swim, run, and hike. Miles are miles.
We encourage you to try to join the group runs! You will find that these are some of the most amazing people to hang out with as you go through high school life. And running with someone is so much easier mentally than running alone.
Make sure you are in running shoes that support you and your running style. It is your most important piece of equipment. Add in appropriate socks to avoid blisters. Investing in good shoes is much cheaper than medical costs from an injury!
Suggested workouts: For runners who are new or just starting to build your base and before we start conditioning together in August, we are including some information here for you to begin. Scripted practices will also be shared for each week.
Start running 2-3 miles (or timed runs 20-40 minutes) two to three times a week.
Run on softer surfaces when possible like grass, dirt roads or trails.
As you are comfortable with running 2-3 miles (or timed runs) begin to add 1-2 miles to your runs and add another day each week or as you feel comfortable. Run with your teammates and friends.
There are suggested weekly workouts for both new and returning athletes in this document.
PLEASE be honest with your current level of conditioning. If you increase too quickly, you risk injury. When possible try to run with other teammates of your ability. But run the entire time, do not try to run with others if you have to stop and walk after a mile or two.
Pool workouts are great when it’s hot out! This could be running in the deep end or check out these for other ideas:
