Lifting with the team

Coach Klehr's brilliant "Semi-Workout Speedwork Sessions" - 3x800's, at 3:00 pace each.

Gave Chris Mauro a ride home. REALLY, he isn't all that annoying. Sure, he can talk your head off if you let him, and it doesn't make sense or it doesn't matter half the time, but if you just let him go, he's not that bad. He brings humiliation on himself; aka. wearing his baseball clothes to practice, trying to sound like he knows what he's talking about when he doesn't, and what gets people to hate him are his running tactics. Previously mentioned, he doesn't know when to just let someone pass, and worry about himself...even during a workout (mostly his ego). Even though we're obviously going to be ahead of him for the entirety of this years races, I just worry that this is going to happen all over again.

We (Nico, Nate, and I) need to put him in his place and flat out run him down every day, and then he'll know that unless he trains as hard as us, he WILL NOT beat us in races, and therefore won't struggle to keep up, panting loudly, only to die out miserably and make some excuse.

I really think the team should treat him with more respect and not make fun of him as much, because we need him to be as fast as possible. If that means being annoying in the top 7, so be it. The team right now needs him in his spot, and I don't want him to dread going to practice every day.

C • how very captainly of you! 5

Ran with Nico and JP though practice was canceled...didn't feel a drop of rain while i was running..so that's a shame

Event: ROC - Webster Park
 

Slower paced (Tried to hit "Running Economy" pace - in a book I'm reading - the best I could, but it's hard without mile markers) run with JP, Nico, John Wiseman, and Steve (dropped out), and Chelsea(!!!) for the first 15 minutes, - saving some for the Score-O tonight
Could I get some info on how a "Score-O" is different from a "Regular-O"?

C • Score-O 1

C • did u start 2

Score-O, felt too confident in my navigating skills, and went for too many controls. Got back too late, and got soaked in the process...perhaps next time i'll just follow the lead guy, and out-sprint him at the end.

Lifting with the team

4x200, 1x400, 1x800, 1x400, 4x200 - ...??

All at the same pace, around 40-45 seconds per 200.

Fartlek run with the guys - 6x1:00, 1x2:00 - with 2 minutes rest in beetween each. Then, at about 37 minutes, we had a "quality time" run with Coach Brunswick until about an hour.

Great run with Nico, (and Elliot, JP, and Joe; they trailed off around 20 minutes in) - we pushed each other pretty hard.....
We both know we're fighting for the #1 spot, but we're going to cooperate so that we're both as good as we can be this season, so that it's a guts race in the end.

Biking 'to and fro' practice

Made some calls..
Ethan, Geoff Kelly, Eric Kraewic, Arjun Patel (who said he'd be at practice tomorrow!!) -, Garion Urbanek, (he said he's not running cross country because apparently they have fall baseball...), Tom Farrel, Trevor (who is in the Adirondacks), Steve Whit, Kyle Kraewic..

So! I'll call them again soon.
