Entire track team: Its Invitational week. Entries are due Tuesday for Saturday’s meet. With it being race week Wednesday and Saturday and with the rising temperatures you need to make sure you are bringing a water bottle and drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Only a select few will be going Saturday so if you aren’t sure if that is you make sure you speak with Coach Gray or Coach Berg. This means that if you want to have proper racing attire for your races you need to have gotten your track shoes before Wednesday.
Something to keep in mind for races is the rule of thumb goes as follows, “Nothing new on race week”. This helps you keep healthy routines that allow you to race your best on race day. This means that if you have been to a track meet before, then you should keep the same daily routine as you do normally every week for practice. You shouldn’t be eating any crazy new meals, getting at least 8 hours of sleep every night, and eating healthy 3 meals every day. You should also be making sure you are eating enough protein throughout the week to help promote proper muscle growth so you can get better after you practice every day
Distance Runners:
I hope everyone who went on Saturday had fun. Looking forward to a great week of meets and races.
I’ll be posting the entries for distance for Saturdays invite here as well as on Sportsyou so you can share this with your parents:
Wednesdays meet I will give tell you on Tuesday what events you will be doing. I have next week’s entries done as well but those might change after tomorrow’s time trial. Make sure you have your track shoes or something to race in by Wednesday if you want to have a good race. Some of you I have removed from the group’s list because I created your own training schedule. Make sure you check it out:
Also, some of the workouts have set paces you should be running. If I haven’t spoken with you directly or you don’t know or remember what these paces are make sure to use these to figure this out. Ill be updating this later this week.

The ones going on Saturday, If you notice on your training you have a workout after your last race. Don’t forget to do it. Reminder your homework is to bring running cloths and running shoes every day. Also make sure to bring a water bottle. Make sure you are doing your strides every day that we have them scheduled and lets make sure to do our strength work every day. However this week on Wednesday and Friday we will not be doing our core workout in Prep for Saturday. At least for those going on Saturday wont be doing them on Friday.
