7/3 quick update: Endurance Camp, Summer Track, Long runs

Endurance Camp

I am so happy with how the first half of endurance camp has gone!

To our new runners—many of you are starting to see major improvements already. I know we have! We have such a strong group of young and new runners, it is such a wonderful thing! We get three more weeks of working with all of you, and hope that you are strongly considering joining cross country at either Yorkville Middle School or with us at Yorkville High School. Don’t forget to tell your friends how much fun the sport is, and how after the first few weeks, it isn’t as hard as they may think! The more people out for our sport, the better our teams will be!!

To our more experienced runners
—Sure, we lost a LOT of runners to graduation this year, but this hasn’t affected how you have trained in the slightest! You are no doubt starting to see some improvements after the first three weeks. Just remember, a team that runs together, wins together—it is vital that our upper groups synergize together this summer, so the transition to this fall will be so much easier. Make sure you are organizing the runs on the days we don’t have endurance camp—and make sure you make it to those runs! :)

Summer Track

• Photos/results from the Plainfield South meet will be up by the end of the weekend—been really busy :(

• The next summer track meet is Wednesday, July 8, 2009, NOT the 10th like I told some of you. Sorry for the confusion, & I’ll get those details up soon. in the meantime, you can download their meet info HERE.

Sunday’s long run

I talked to some people in the community about grouping up for long runs. If you are interested in running with Coach Muth and me on Sundays, feel free! This week we are meeting at the corner of Quinsey Road and Spring Street in Yorkville at 7 a.m. This week’s run: 14 miles. Muth and I are training hard for the Chicago Marathon, but these long runs are going to be a little slower—more in the 7:45-8:00/mile range.
