Summer Open Workouts
Summer is for aerobic development, getting mileage. However, we want you to run safely. Athletes need to open a BIGTEAMS account and upload all the required forms. You'll also need a KHSAA physical. Then you'll be ready for our team open workouts. Athletes without BIGTEAMS approval cannot join the team open workouts.
Open Workouts - we want to encourage all athletes to run on their own and with friends. However, some athletes need a little more guidance and structure. Open workouts are designed for those athletes who benefit from a little structure. Open workouts are early and they are completely voluntary. Workout days will be announced two days in advance using Twitter and the TeamAPP - please follow us on Twitter and open an account on TeamAPP.
Open workouts through the summer vary from week to week. Coaches take their breaks and family vacations during the summer too and we encourage everyone to find a way to get miles on their own. If you need guidance reach out to coach Proffitt.

Practice Log
Recovery is essential to improvement
Coach E has always said, "the key to fast running is a slow jog". Active recovery incorporates managed movement to enhance and accelerate recovery. Train 21 day cycles with one day off (except for MS).
Keep accurate records
Proper training is scientific and data driven. It's okay that you estimate and improve as you grow in the program.
Reflect and Respond
Look over your data, reflect on the week, and communicate with your coaches. Performance is a symptom of your training.
