Coach Mark Jellison back to team practice
It would have been three weeks in a row to have a rainy Sunday morning if last night rain lingered. But it didn’t, and boy, did it turn out to be a beautiful morning! This totally made our practice, and it showed on everyone’s face. In addition to the great weather and happy faces, we had a couple of new athletes joined the practice today: Shannon and Jorge. They both did track in the past, and we could tell. We would love to have them come to our practice regularly.
The track and grass were still wet from last night’s rain, and it totally made our wet shoes squeak while running. After the warm-up drills, we had everyone do 2 x 450m and 4 x 250m at 50% to 75% effort. Last 50m was meant to train everyone’s mental strength, as well as physical endurance. Great running, everyone! See you next week.
