We have finished Striders, and we are now OFFICIALLY RAMS! I thought this year’s Striders Camp was the best we’ve ever had. Everything seemed to have a nice flow to it, and most of the workouts had really good energy. We’ll continue to make adjustments and improve but this summer was great!
Now that we’ve established a solid base during the summer and, runners have reached their full mileage, it’s time to start incorporating race-pace-type workouts that they haven’t done up to this point. Most of our workouts will resemble those from the summer but with a bit more structure. Everything kicks off with our Newcomer’s Mile (new name) on August 5th. This will serve as a preview of our race-pace workouts and help define the groups you will run with at the beginning of the season and serve as a try-out for our new runners. This is a positive step in preparing everyone to run fast this fall.
Before we go to camp, we have a week off (the fourth week of every cycle) and ORXC Camp. For kids attending camp, we will establish the expectations for the season and have a great time running together and spending time with each other. For kids not attending camp, it’s a chance to rest up after Striders and prepare for the start of ORXC. It’s not a week off…they will still need to run…but the runs are easy and relaxed.
Starting tomorrow, we will have an optional practice from 8:00 – 9:30 for anyone interested. Coach Clark and Coach Parker will be there. I won’t be able to attend as my dad is having surgery, and I will be at the hospital with him. After practice, everyone will go home and then the campers should be back to leave at 1:00. Please park in the front parking lot, and the bus will depart from the Fieldhouse as usual. I have attached an itinerary and a packing list for the trip.
You must have your Physical and Rankone complete to go! Make sure you take care of that today if you haven’t already.
I can’t wait to get things kicked off this week! I love Striders but it’s so nice when we get down to just OUR runners. We can really start to focus on the season and on you all. It’s going to be a FREEMONT season suckas!
