First Day, First Week of Practice

The first day of the season is here and we will be getting things going Monday afternoon at Riverview Park, on the north side of 105th Ave. (2420 105th Ave) The weather this first week looks positive and should be good for the training we would like to get the runners.  It will be still warm and humid, so we will be watching how everyone is doing and will adjust any workouts if we feel it would be more beneficial.  Also, please bring water, not only for after, but during the workouts.  A good option if you don't have a running water bottle, would be the store bought 16oz waters, and to use the grip handles we handed out to last years team (we will have these on Monday for the new runners or anyone who may need one).

Here are the times and locations, though, for the first week of practice.  I will be giving out a more detailed schedule as well as other information to the runners after the first practice Monday.  Monday's practice will be a little longer then 2 hours long, the rest of the morning practices will be between an hour 15 and an hour and a half long.  Evening practices will have a different focus, mainly recovery, weight training, and a little more fun.  We understand if not everyone can make these practices due to family obligations, but they are still important practices.  These practices will be about an hour 15 mins long 

Also, please remember that runners need to be signed up before they can come to practices!  The final day to sign up to be legal for Varsity at Sections is Monday, September 7th and the last day to sign up for the season in general will be Friday, September 11th.  If there are any questions, please let me know.  

If you have any questions, please let me know,

Thanks
Denny

Summer Training - Week of July 27

For this week of our summer training, which is the last that we as coaches can be a part of until the season starts, a bunch of the runners, myself, as well as a few parents, will be spending the first 3 days of the week on the North Shore getting in some training.  For the rest of the team, there are will not be a scheduled practice for those three days, but we are still recommending that you get the workouts in that are posted.  There will be scheduled practices on Thursday at Bunker, Golf Course Parking Lot 1, at 8:00am and Friday at CRHS at 8:00am.  From that point on, until the season starts, the captains will organize practices.  Reminder that the season this year starts on Monday, August 17!  Please watch for information as we get closer, but also make sure all Physicals are up to date now and that everything is ready to go through the registration process (I have not heard when registration opens, it may actually be open already.).

If there are any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
