What a week it has been! I am so proud of all of our hawks and the work that they have put in. I believe that they will soon find that all the effort they have put into this season will come back to them. Last week, even though I wasn’t there on Monday, I heard about many hawks working hard. Mia had an outstanding workout, pushing the whole time and finishing all the way through the finish line. Cal also attacked the hills, making up a lot of distance on his fellow hawks. On Thursday everyone crushed it, working hard relay after relay.
As I am sure you all know, we had no meet this weekend, so I hope that everyone got in their long runs. Long runs are important to help build a base on top of what we are doing in practice. This coming weekend, for those of you participating, we have the Clarksburg Country Run 5k on Saturday. I know that this is a team favorite, and I hope that many of you can be there. If you are not running the 5k, you need to get in a long run! I need to register our athletes for Association Championships this week. Please be sure to RSVP on the team app – and if you are not planning to participate let me know at practice this week. At this point of the season, we are focusing on “sharpening the sword.” This means that the workouts are becoming shorter, but faster. Really focus on speed in the upcoming workouts. Think about shortening your stride, moving your arms faster, and anything else that might help you remember to run fast. As we are reaching the end of our season every workout counts so make sure that you get in the right headspace before practice. We are also going to be training in the dark from here on out. PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR HEADLAMPS TO PRACTICE! We have done a great job avoiding injuries this season – let’s not experience any unforced errors by running in the dark! Our practice schedule this week will be as follows: Monday - Intervals at Marshall Hills (Meet at the Boathouse)
Tuesday - Rest & Stretch Wednesday - On your own
Thursday - Swamp Tempo (Meet at the Boathouse)
Friday - Rest & Stretch Saturday or Sunday - LONG Easy Run and/or CLARKSBURG 5K
REMEMBER: What you put into your training will dictate what you get out of your races. Train Hard, Win Easy! Coach Eric
