August 30th-September 4th - Top of Utah

Great job to everyone last week at our pre-region race at Layton Park. It was fun to see some of you negative split from your first to second mile and we got a good little preview of the region course. If you haven't seen results for pre-region, they are here: 2021 Region 1 Pre-region Results. This week we are racing on Friday at the Weber County Fairgrounds. We understand it is labor day weekend so hopefully with the race being on Friday it is more doable but if you aren't able to make it please fill out the race conflict form. Meet schedule and bus times are listed below.

Now that school has started back up it is extremely important that we don't fall behind and we have to stay up late doing homework. Take advantage of the hour after school before practice, or make sure you aren't procrastinating doing things. Make sure you are doing the following things CONSISTENTLY:

*8-9 hours of sleep a night

*Getting proper food in you especially shortly after workouts/runs

*Hydrating during school (bring your water bottle with you to class)

*Rolling out and stretching daily (roll out deep 2-3 times a week on sore or tight spots, not every day)

*Coming to practice and RUNNING!

Thank you to the Hess family and everyone else who helped out with our team dinner this past week. For this week, we are doing a team dinner Thursday night at the Wheeler residence. This will be at 6 PM at 128 N 700 W in Kaysville. 

If anyone is looking into trying to run in college, you will want to make sure you have enough credits to pass the NCAA clearing house. This link gives you an idea of what classes are needed. You can talk with Alan Porter at our school to have him make sure you are eligible for competing in college: FHS NCAA Links

Weekly Mileage Chart: This week we will keep our mileage the same as last week so we should be at 100% of our max mileage. If you are planning a max of 40 miles, you should hit 40 this week. The best way to get some more mileage is to have a longer run on Saturday and do a few doubles where you run at practice and in the morning. Wednesdays would be great days to get a morning run in.
