Running with Rocco: Week of December 27th

 First, there are a few things to go over:

  • I'm posting workouts for this week, but check the weather daily 
  • As long as the weather is around 30 degrees (with minimal wind chill) we'll meet to run
  • However, if there's a lot of ice on the ground, if there's too much snow to run through, or if it's cold and raining, we probably will cancel that session...I'll send notices via REMIND in the morning
  • Due to the pandemic, there are limits to how many athletes can utilize the ALHS weight room this season...so we won't be meeting there during our Saturday/holiday sessions
  • I'll post next week's session next week (probably on Monday)
  • As always, dress for the weather! Hats, gloves, and dress in layers!

Reminders about Running with Rocco:
  • Any athlete is able to join, it's not just for cross country runners.
  • It's for distance runners and sprinters NOT involved in a winter sport...once your winter sports seasons are over you can join us.
  • We're training to help transition to the upcoming Track & Field season.
  • You do not need to attend every session, but make sure to run 3-4 days a week, and make sure not to over-do it. We're just jogging, and not accruing a lot of miles.
  • If you can't make a session, I'm including running times below. 
  • Running on your own, on a treadmill, or on an elliptical are acceptable ways to work out this off-season.
Here is the schedule for this week:

Week of December 27th:
  • Tuesday              12/29         10 - 10:45 a.m.    ALHS Caboose               20 - 30 minutes  
  • Wednesday        12/30         10 - 10:45 a.m.    ALHS Caboose               18 - 28 minutes  
  • Thursday             12/31         10 - 10:45 a.m.   ALHS Caboose               22 - 32 minutes
  • Saturday             1/2              10 - 10:45 a.m.   ALHS Caboose               20 - 30 minutes

Running with Rocco: Weeks of December 7th & 14th

First, there are a few things to go over:

  • I just found out we are now allowed to meet for off-season workouts (as of today, Wednesday, December 9th). So we'll start back up tomorrow for those interested.
  • I'm updating this season's times and I'll leave copies for pick-up both at Open Dor and Learwood's MPR. 
  • I'll update the Learwood Top Times and then I'll send a REMIND text with the new times. These times go back about 27 years or so.

Reminders about Running with Rocco (when we actually return):
  • Any athlete is able to join, it's not just for cross country runners.
  • It's for distance runners and sprinters NOT involved in a winter sport...once your winter sports seasons are over you can join us.
  • We're training to help transition to the upcoming Track & Field season.
  • You do not need to attend every session, but make sure to run 3-4 days a week, and make sure not to over-do it. We're just jogging, and not accruing a lot of miles.
  • If you can't make a session, I'm including running times below. 
  • Running on your own, on a treadmill, or on an elliptical are acceptable ways to work out this off-season.
