Steady run to tempoish run,week recap

Well this week was just about right on where it was supposed to be. The goal was 35 miles in 8 runs and it ended up being 34 miles in 7 runs. Good.

Friday I was going to do 2 loops in HH steady but didnt get up in time to do it before practice so watched a little wo at franklin w rachel and amie and jeff then rolled down to mcd. Did a semi random 2 mile wu and then did a 3 mile(or 4800 for those of you who are jerks) on the track rather than the 2 loops in woods. 6:15/6:10/6:01. It felt good- my legs got a bit heavy in the last 3 laps but felt ok again when i picked it up on the last lap. I am going to marginally alter the plan and sub one more of these for one of the steady woods runs. 2 weeks from now i believe.

Then we had the gunpowder meet today it went mostly well. We have basically no prior experience in xc for the vast majority of our team. So we are improving. We are also in the back right now but thats ok. But there were some ok indications for counties and regionals I havent toally pored over the results yet. Merritt was mad after her race I think we need to work on more race pace stuff we havent done that much of that- for anyone really. Like oscar ran quite well but he needs some sharpening because hes fairly strong(prob somewhat naturally) but he goes out in 555 which obv is slow as crap. However he kept it steady so well done on that. Darin ran better as well which is good. The JV boys esp the freshmen group was quite good. Mike,Gavin,Zack,and esp Christian.

Next week 40 miles on 8-9 runs. The one wo is the 2 loop run in woods. I might add another easy wo with either franklin or mcd.
