Great work this weekend! Despite the high temperatures, many of you had PR races and did a great job pushing through the competition. A lot of you ran for those goal times and got them or at least close.

This week’s schedule:

• Monday, 9/26 – 4 pm at MV. Run to Hollinshead for hill repeats. Then back to MV for stretching and core.
• Tuesday, 9/27 – 4pm at MV. Easy 30-60 min run following by a weight room workout.
• Wednesday, 9/28 – 2:30pm at MV. Track workout. 800/600/400/200 w/ 3min rest. Times at current 5k pace.
• Thursday, 9/29 – 4pm at MV. Easy 20-40 min run followed by a weight workout.
• Friday, 9/30 – 4pm at MV. Easy 20-30 min run followed by strides & stretching.
  • Pasta Feed at 5:45pm @ the Millers, 20864 Rorick Dr. Bend, OR 97701-What to bring-

    Freshmen: Salad

    Sophomores: Drinks

    Junior(s): Dessert

    Seniors: Bread

• Saturday, 10/1 – Oxford Classic at Drake Park.
  • 12:20pm – Varsity Girls Race
  • 12:50pm – Varsity Boys Race
  • 2:00pm – JV Boys Race

At this point, it looks warm and dry for the race. There is obviously some shade, but we’ll bring the tent. This is a great chance to get some fairly flat, but thick grass running in. For the Varsity Boys it’s a chance to match up against the Bend High boys. We’re at a higher elevation, but it’s what we’re used to, so no problem there. Let’s have a great work week this week and next. Go Cougs!

Nice work Cougs! This last week was a solid week of racing and pushing toward improvement. It’s going to go back to more of a work week this week, as we continue to look toward the latter half of the season.

Coach’s advice/strong suggestion – Don’t share drinks with other athletes. This should go without saying, but it’s been witnessed. Use your own water bottles and drink from your own beverages. Fall is upon us and with that close quarters in school and a strong chance of getting sick.

This week’s workouts:

Monday – 4pm @ MV. Hard workout for the week at MV park. It will be tiered to Varsity guys/girls, JV guys/girls & Beginning runners.

Tuesday – 4pm @ MV. Easy run day. 30-50 minutes. Core and stretching.

Wednesday – 2:30 @ MV. Right after school!

• 200, 300, 400 with 3MR, 8 MR, 600.  All quicker than race pace. Time to tickle the fast twitch muscles a bit.

Woah! Congrats to everyone for a great first race. We had a lot of first time 5Kers who’ve now set a benchmark they can try to beat as the season progresses. Great work to the JV Boys for their win, and the Var Boys for their 2nd place. The Girls team had a great showing as well fielding a scoring team and getting 4th. Results can be found on Athletic.net.
