Windy circuits
Warmed up on the trails with some of the new girls. They are much quieter than the boys...
At the beginning of the week, the kids ae supposed to be able to calculate their mileage that they need for the week (I have been trying to get them to do this for a bit over a season now...) That way, they can figure out how many miles they get to "spend" during the week. The older ones have figured out that if they bank miles early in the week, they can have some shorter days later. the younger ones are still figuring that piece out...Now that the different pace groups and ability levels are back together, they spent over 15 minutes figuring out whether they needed to run 10 minutes or 15 for the extra warm-up...Silly boys...Last season I made them each a log book that resembeld coloring books (color a flower for each mile ran today...) Looks like I will need to bring those out again.
Did 4 sets of 4 different ancillary exercises utilizing the medicine ball and some functional movement with a lap in between each set. Cool down for the kids was only a mile, but I needed a bit more work in. Stayed at the track (mistake) as it was horribly windy. Funny how everytime I turned the corner I would think, maybe there will be no wind this time....UGH! |
