Training this week 12/24/07 to 12/29/07

        We'll have practices at 2 PM on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and will practice at 9 AM on Saturday.   I recommend that on the 24th do a 20 to 25 minute tempo run if you can, or at least a 30 to 40 minute run.  If you can run on the 25th, do so - a 30 to 40 minute run would be fine and do core on either Monday or Tuesday and stretch after each run.

Wednesday 12/26/07   2 PM to 4 PM  - Drills, core, speed ladder, 1 mile warmup on the field loop, 6 x 800 meters at tempo pace with a 1 minute rest, 1 mile warmdown, stretch.

Thursday  12/27/07   2 PM to 4 PM  -  Drills, jog to Truman Pkwy, 4 x the entire hill with a jog down the hill recovery, jog back to the track, stretch. 

Friday  12/28/07   2 PM to 4 PM  -  Drills, core, speed ladder, 40 minute run, stretch, jump rope.

Saturday 12/29/07   9 AM to 10:30 PM  -  Drills, 1 mile warmup on the field loop, 3 x 300 at slightly faster than mile pace starting a 300 every 4 minutes, 3 x 200 meters cutdown starting a new 200 every 4 minutes, 1 mile warmdown, stretch. 

Call Coach Eden for any questions, 410-266-9304 home and 410-703-9456 cell.  Happy Holidays!

Training Schedule Error

        As several of you have noted, I incorrectly put the meet this week on Wednesday the 19th when it is actually on Thursday the 20th.   Everyone will run the repeat 300 meter workout tomorrow, and Wednesday will be an easy day for everyone.  On Friday the runners who raced on Thursday will only have to run 4 x 200 yards on the hill at Truman Pkwy. 
        On Wednesday we will have a biomechanical evaluation of our athletes by 3 physical therapists.  Brenda Shaeffer of Advantage Physical Therapy has organized this.  She did this for the lacrosse team in the past and they found it very helpful.   A total of 6 different measurements will be performed on each athlete.  This is a brief evaluation to look for potential flexibility and joint orientation problems.  There are common problems that may be helped by stretching or strengthening exercises, and frequently these are prevalent enough for the whole team to work on them together.  This is painless, the results will be confidential, and there's no cost to the athletes.  This will take place in the auditorium from 3 PM to the end of practice, and we'll have half the team go in at a time while the other half does their workout.   I greatly appreciate Brenda Shaeffer helping us in this way.    Coach Eden

Meet tomorrow

There's a makeup meet at the PG Sports and Learning Center tomorrow, to make up for the canceled meet last week.  If you did not race on Saturday and are not going to the New York meet on December 15th ( those who are going already know about it), you should go to the meet on Monday.  The bus will leave the basketball gym end of the school at 2:30 PM.  Mary and Kathryn Howser and Coach Brown will be in charge of who runs which event.  I recommend that everyone run 2 races - talk with the people listed above about which races to run and when to warmup.  If you are not going to the meet, use the library as a study hall until 3 PM and then meet Coach Ford at the track for the workout I'll email out in a little while.  Coach Eden

Training today

If we have practice today, I'll see you there. If practice is canceled today, run on a treadmill if you have access to one or cross train on a bike or elliptical or rowing machine or anything you can access. Do a 30 to 40 minute workout, trying an increased speed or resistance for up to 1 minute at a time up to 6 times during the workout. If you have no access, get ahead on your schoolwork. Coach Eden
