Re: our own 100 mile club

guest — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 04:14:00 GMT

my xc team does a 200 mile club during the summer, from like mid june through mid august.
if we get it our coach gives us some kind of prize.
last year it was a super nice running watch.

rest it until it feels better. ice and when you start running again take it easy if you feel it at all. dont let it get any worse.

Re: people who have contacts...?

guest — Sun, 16 Apr 2006 06:28:00 GMT

i have the same problem, in fact, quite often my contacts fall out during my races and end up in the corner of my eye as a wrinkled dry plasticy mess...BUT i have a solution. if it falls out and its dry and such put it in your mouth for a second to remoisten it. i know it sounds gross but it totally works and then you can just put it back in your eye. i was actually talking to a teammate at our meet today about this which is why im telling u this even though it doesnt really solve our problem...hmmm

Re: favorite track workouts

our coach does a really fun game where he has a deck of cards and he lays them out on the track and everyone picks one, not showing anyone else.

for early in the season we only run half the distance, but u can also keep it the same or even double it.
for example: a 2 would be 200 m, a 3 300 m, a 6 600 m, and so on. we usually do face cards worth and 800 and aces you get to choose, but the coach can change that.

after we choose the cards he then gives 3 or 4 runners the option of trading with someone else, and that person has to agree. remember no one knows what cards everyone else has.

its a really fun workout, and u make it as hard or easy as you want. just depends how much u want to get out of it.
good luck!

prom emergency

guest — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 06:20:00 GMT

so track started this week, and even though i've been running all winter this crazy new stretching routine along with some hardcore conditioning/strengthening workouts has left me so sore i cry when i go down the stairs.
and prom is saturday.
i can barely walk...so, my question is does anyone have a miracle solution to soreness, even if it just makes it a little better? i would, after all, like to be able to dance on my prom night, if at all possible...
if you would let me know it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

Re: eek first day of track

guest — Tue, 14 Mar 2006 05:55:00 GMT

so i had my first day of track today. i've been looking forward to it for months. and then about 10 minutes into practice i remembered why it is that i dislike track so much. and i think this year it may be even worse.
so my xc coach is also our distance coach for track and he's totally awesome, however the rest of the coaches basically give me the impression that they have no idea what they're doing. we did our warmup for two minutes...yeah, hows that? and then they put us through this new stretching routine because they dont want us to get hurt, after two minutes of jogging...i dont understand. and then this stupid stretching took like 30 minutes and then the form run took another 30...it was absolutely ridiculous.
so by the time we finally got to get out and RUN (the distance runners were the only ones to do anything by the way) practice should have been over.
oh well, atleast we got to run some...but im really not looking forward to going back and spending half an hour stretching again tomorrow
gah, anyone else have ridiculous coaches?
