Today was a big workout for transitioning into the next phase of the season. The group was most focused for the whole workout than I have ever seen them. From the warm up through the last 200 they were on it. It showed by the times they ran. We are very ready to run well next weekend. I had every intention of taking some pictures during the workout today but got caught up in how things were going and forgot.
Today's workout was 6x1k. I have been trying to set the tone for the workout all week telling them it was an important one and to be focused. I moved the workout to the track instead of the grass to so I could monitor what was going on a lot better and be my vocal self. Our top 5 girls averaged 3:15, we had some girls close 3:00 and better and our top 5 guys averaged 2:45 also closing well. We had some specific instructions on how i wanted the first three to go then how to cut down the last three. They were right on target for the whole thing. The women's team closed the gap up significantly which is exactly what we need for the rest of the meets this season. The men were able to close the gap as well and the Frosh group made some big steps in taking their training to a new level. All in all this was a good way to start the weekend.
Now its time to get focused on Pre Nationals for the top 7 women and Santa Clara for the rest of the women and the men. Both have great opportunities ahead.
