Parents, Track and Field distance running pre-season conditioning is well underway, in its eighth week to be exact, and 52 girls are participating. Liam Clemons is overseeing all workouts, I am assisting him until the second semester begins, and at that time Melissa Clemons will become the assistant coach. A two week workout plan, devised by Coach Clemons, was distributed to all of the girls before the break, a significant number of the girls reported performing most, if not all of the workouts, and this was evidenced yesterday(Tuesday) during a team 1200 meter time trial. The results, especially for early January, were promising, and the next eight weeks will be geared solely to prepare your daughter for the upcoming season which begins Thursday, March 8, at San Clemente. Another ten girls are playing soccer and also plan on running distance events for the track and field team. Their goal is to run three workouts per week at their convenience, a steady state run of 50-60 minutes, so as to be better prepared for the rigors of training for the 800-1600-3200 meter events. All athletes will be encouraged to run a workout on Saturdays, on her own, until the regular season begins on Monday, February 12. Please...please encourage your daughter to do so...
I look forward to the upcoming track and field season...GO BLUE!!!
PS Inclement weather is not a reason to not bring your gear for a workout.
We practice rain or shine...
