Cougar Falcon Invitational

RESULTS

The Cougar Falcon Invitational is known for PR's(Personal Records) we look forward to this event because the course is fantastic and there is a lot of competition at the event. This year however with temperatures lingering around 90 degrees Athlete Health/Wellbeing was VERY high on our list of things to keep an eye on. We brought along lots of water and an ice bucket with rags so the runners could try to keep themselves cool before and after they ran.  A big bummer because of the heat meant that it was not going to be a day for PR's. It was a day to run hard(safely) the heat inevitably slowed us down. We are happy that EVERY one is doing well post race. Lots of water and recovery naps !!! 

This week we are taking it easy on Monday b/c we still need some recovery time, and taking our workout to the beach on Tuesday for some water running to stay cool. 

Thank YOU !!!

I just wanted to give a BIG THANK YOU to all the Students who showed up to help with HC5k Last weekend. You really helped make the event FUN !!! 

P.S You can still bring my your service hour papers to sign for helping out.

So... this week it has been HOT outside we are getting our second summer right now. I hate to complain because I have been enjoying some extra time at the beach but 88 degrees and sunny is rough when running a 5K RACE !!! We are so proud of how they toughed it out last night at the meet. Every one ran the way they were supposed to and we are happy that we had no heat related issues on our team.

What a Fantastic Evening for for Cross Country. Partly Cloud a light breeze and 60's for the temp.. Seriously that is just GREAT running weather. We are super Happy with Happy with how both the Girls and Boys teams performed yesterday. For 2017 the Girls run first. They did a great job and stuck to the plan of running in a solid pack. In the Boys event it was a GREAT evening for PR's (personal records) they are starting the season out strong and we cant wait to see how the rest of season goes.

I was curious just how much running I do during a Cross Country Meet. 

I Logged 4.6 miles and I think am going to call this a Fartlek workout :) haha 

Fartlek, which means "speed play" in Swedish, is a training method that blends continuous training with interval training. Fartlek runs are a very simple form of a long distance run. Fartlek training “is simply defined as periods of fast running intermixed with periods of slower running."
