rchs_xc_2019_pre-season_info.docx Training Reminders:
We've had a very positive start to our summer training these past 3 weeks! Below are a some helpful things to remember to keep your running experience a positive one: - make sure you are properly hydrated (your urine looks like lemonade, not apple juice!) for each run and that you bring necessary meds if needed (i.e. inhalers, etc.) to practices. - because we track minutes on our runs, it is very helpful if athletes have a basic watch that can log those minutes. - make sure you have the proper running shoes. You should replace your shoes every 300-400 miles. That means our highest mileage runners (50 per week), should be in a new pair every 2 1/2 to 3 months. Wearing the right shoe can prevent injury. The right shoe is the one that "fits YOU like a glove." Do not buy a shoe because it looks good, or it is a certain brand. No one brand is better than the other. It's all about fit!!! We will be doing one of our runs from Runners Roost/Lone Tree this summer. After the run you can speak with the experts in helping to buy the right shoe. However, if you need shoes before then, please get a pair ASAP! - During the summer our Tuesday/Friday runs are held off campus. Our upperclassmen do a great job of meeting at RCHS 30 min before the run to help transport younger athletes to these runs. If parents prefer driving their athlete, please do so as we want all athletes to take part in these runs. - Some of our "veteran" parents are planning a XC parents only summer social in the upcoming days. Mark Fearon and Chan Timmons will be emailing details soon. |
