Biggest thing we need to focus our attention on now is our Eligibility. PLEASE GET IT DONE!! If you haven't at least done your Register My Athlete by Tuesday at 1:00 PM you will NOT be running with us this season. If you haven't turned your physical in, get it in as soon as you can and if you haven't scheduled one, do that NOW!!! Also, only 14 of you have filled out the Team Disclosure. If you haven't done that yet, which is most of you, please do it this week.
This week we will also start some heat training to prepare us for the season but not every day will be in the afternoon this week. Pay close attention to the schedule so you know when practice is. I know some of you have work and may not be able to make the afternoon practices but do your best and make sure you have the 3-5 slot open once school starts.
Last thing, the air quality is not great and will stay that way most of the week. If you start to notice any breathing or respiratory issues I would recommend finding a place to run indoors. If you are concerned, bring a mask and limit your exposure to the outside air as little as possible. We will still hold practice as it will be moderately bad and not severely bad, if the reports change and it gets worse we may have to look at options to run indoors.
Weekly Practice Schedule
Monday August 9th - 7:00 AM @ Wasatch Running Center (316 N Marketplace Dr C200, Centerville)
*We are doing a run from Wasatch running center with the 2021 National 50KM Road National Champ Preston Johnson (Local boy). There will be food following the run as well as some prizes, giveaways and deals on spikes and shoes. This link will take you to the route we are going to do tomorrow.
Tuesday August 10th - 7:00 AM @ FHS
Wednesday August 11th - 2:00 PM @ Pioneer Park (1285 S Angel St, Kaysville)
Thursday August 12th - 3:00 PM @ Skater Park (or South Park - 1384 S Frontage Rd, Farmington)
Friday August 13th - 7:00 AM @ Forbush Park (99 Main St, Farmington)
Saturday August 14th - On your own, get in a longer run to finish your weekly mileage.
Weekly Mileage Chart: This week we will go up 10% from last week. So we should be about 90% of our max mileage. If you are planning a max of 40 miles, you should hit 36 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 either in the morning or night (depending on when we have practice).
