Running Club

Distance Runners & Parents:

 

Here’s the next 2 weeks’ schedule for Running Club. Remember to email me if you’re planning on attending Saturday sessions at the Rocky River Metroparks (which start on Saturday, February 16^th). We should be gone from 10 a.m. – noon(ish). If we get enough runners interested we may be able to get a bus.

Running Club

Distance Runners & Parents:

 

Running Club will be canceled this week due to the low temperatures.

 

I will send out the next 2 weeks’ schedule in the near future. We are going to start hill work/stadium step workouts on Saturdays—hopefully starting next week. Athletes are strongly encouraged to attend these sessions. We will start with stadium steps and then progress to hill work sessions.

 

Which leads me to our next (potential) problem. If we want to go to the Rocky River Metroparks to do hill work (which I would like to start in a few weeks), we need to have a good number of athletes involved to justify the expense of getting a bus to drive us there. So…I’m going to ask if you could email me if you’re planning on going to these sessions on the following dates so I can report back to the athletic department that it is a good expense to incur to the district. If it is deemed not to be so, we may have to see if carpooling is an option. But…let’s see if you’re interested first!

Here are the proposed dates (in bold)…all Saturdays:

 

January 26^th       CANCELED DUE TO COLD TEMPERATURES

February 2^nd       Miracle Miles

February 9^th        Miracle Miles

 

February 16^th     Hill work at Metroparks

February 23^rd     Hill work at Metroparks

March 1^st             Hill work at Metroparks

March 8^th             Hill work at Metroparks

 

Just let me know if you plan on attending ANY of these sessions! Email works…I just need an approximate number for the athletic department. Thanks!

Coach Rocco

 

Running Club Update

Distance Runners & Parents:

 

I’ve updated the next two weeks’ schedule for the Running Club. I’m starting to work with the varsity track team this week, so the schedule may change. Please check the announcements for any cancellations.

 

It is crucial for all distance runners to run 3-4 times per week! Attendance is optional at this point in the off-season training, but make sure you are running! From this point on (January through the 1^st week of March), it is vitally important to get out and run. If running outside is not an option due to weather, treadmill running, elliptical, or even recumbent bike indoors are all great options. Don’t over-do it—remember, you are now training for 400, 800, and 1600 meter races (as opposed to 3200 meter races in cross country) but do make sure you show up to the pre-season training with Coach Arebaugh ready to go!

 

We are going to continue incorporating dynamic stretches in our sessions. Make sure to static stretch either at the conclusion of our sessions or at home! This is important as well.

 

Lastly, Coach Walters and I are going to (finally) get around to doing our uniform inventory. I’ve got to clean out my room! If you still haven’t turned in your uniform, please do so! Uniforms should be placed in a bag with your name labeled on it. We’ll remind specific athletes of this.

 

Any questions or concerns, please let us know!
