Good Job, Team!

 OK guys, Check the summer mileage page.

We're doing really well.  We've got 5 boys within striking distance of being in the 700 mile group!  I talk a lot about how in 2022, we had our whole varsity group hit 700.  OK, that was juast the varsity group.  After that, there wasn't much happening.  If I look now, I see a whole bunch of you on pace for 550-650.

On the girls side, 

Melanie and Lizeth are KILLING IT!. We're going to see some big improvements from them.  And, we're starting to get healthy with a number of other girls.  For the girls side, we may be a little behind where we want to be right now, but as long as we all start gelling as a group and getting the volume up little by little, we're going to be very good.  For the girls, it's important that we get those newer girls feeling like they're part of the team.  Call them up for an easy run, it can be your double for the day.  This is how we keep the ball rolling when a big chunk of seniors graduates this year.  

As far as mileage goes, Here's where you should be RN.

• 700 = 294 @ 6 weeks - If you're at 270, RN, you're in good shape.
• 500 = 210 @ 6 weeks - If you're at 190 RN, you're in good shape. 
• 300 = 126 @ 6 weeks - If you're at 115-120 RN, you're in good shape.

The next 5 weeks ideally should be your highest volume block of the season

It's not ideal, but when school starts, it's much harder to keep up your volume.  So, if you're aiming for 700, now is the time to start hitting 55-65 mile weeks and then you'll drop back to 45-50 once school starts.  If you're aiming for 500, now is the time to experiment with 40-45 mile weeks.  If you're aiming for 300, now is the time to try and get into the mid to high 20 range.
