Week 11 Email

Hello Lansing Track & Field,

It's hard to believe that we are entering what would have been week 11 of the season, IACs week.  This is usually a marker in our season; some of our athletes end their season after IACs while others who meet qualifying marks continue into championships.  We will continue to send along workout suggestions for the next several weeks, but you'll notice that they are shorter and quicker as they reflect championship training.  

For our athletes who are moving towards fall preseason training, you can continue with these workouts as you wish or you can begin to work towards slightly higher mileage or skill/technique/drill work as is appropriate for your fall sport.  For athletes who are wanting to stay active over the summer and need any help or suggestions with training ideas through the summer months, please feel free to reach out to your coaches; we are happy to help with suggestions.

This week looks to include some sunshine and spring-like weather at last -- get outside and enjoy it!

Stay well,
Coach Becca

Notes & Links:

• If you still have your uniform and jacket from indoor track: please make sure it is laundered and set aside in a bag labelled with your name.  We are waiting to hear from the school on how they would like them to be turned in.  We appreciate you ensuring they are clean and ready for when we can collect them.
• You can still join!!!  Mileage (run/walk/hike) can be logged retroactively for up to two weeks.  Totally optional, but wanted to pass along the word: there's a summer-long virtual run/walk challenge taking place starting on Friday, May 15: https://runsignup.com/Race/NY/EntireState/OneNY  There's swag for all participants (hoodie, gaiter, medal!), proceeds go to Direct Relief, and there's a team to join too!  We've got a growing team that has signed up for the 500k and we are making out way virtually from Buffalo to Albany over the course of the summer!  
  • If you register: 
    • I recommend the 500k event for most people (that's about 3 miles minimum per day, 22 miles per week). Mileage for this challenge can be logged from runs, walks, hikes, etc.
    • Join the Lansing Bobcat Strong team!  Athletes, friends, family -- anyone can join this team!
    • We have over 10 members on our team, so registration is $50 rather than $60.

All practices, meets, and meetings for the spring 2020 season have been cancelled.
