This week it's the boys turn to run in the DCL Foley Season Opener race, on Wednesday at Bedford. The girls will stay at the school and do the workout the boys did last Wednesday. This weekend is the second Saturday Invitational meet, The Frank Kelley Invitational at the Wrentham Developmental Center. If you haven't filled out the entry status poll for this meet please do so.
Monday 9/16 - Practice at 3:30. Warmup including BURPEES followed by progressive long run. The length of the run has increased a bit over previous weeks, as outlined below. The plan for today is for everyone to head to the Hultman aqueduct, what happens from there will depend on how far you're going.
Level 1: 36 minutes (12 minutes easy - 9 minutes fresh - 9 minutes good - 6 minutes easy)
Level 2: 48 minutes (16 minutes easy - 12 minutes fresh - 12 minutes good - 8 minutes easy)

Tue 9/17 - Practice at 3:30. Warmup followed by a short length run at an easy to moderate effort level. Upon your return to the school we'll be doing high stepping run throughs (high knees) and bounding over cones on the softball field and a few accelerations incorporating turns.

Level 2: 26-30 minutes
Level 3: 32-36 minutes

Wednesday 9/18 - Boys DCL Foley Season Opener at Bedford HS. More information on this meet will be forthcoming in a subsequent post. Today is a medium length day in terms of how much running you should be doing overall:
Level 1: 28-32 minutes
Level 2: 36-40 minutes
Level 3: 43-47 minutes
Level 4: 52-56 minutes
Depending on what level you're training at, this may mean either a very short or rather long cooldown jog after your race.
The girls team will be staying at the school and after a team warmup including BURPEES doing the following "tempo run" style workout. In this case, "tempo" pace is considered to be somewhere in the 75-85% effort level if you're running on feel (which you will be). After the team warmup the workout is as follows:
Level 1: 8 minutes @ 70-75% effort, 4 minute break, 8 minutes @ 80-85% effort (warmup and cooldown of 5-6 minutes apiece)
Level 2: 10 minutes @ 70-75% effort, 5 minute break, 10 minutes @ 80-85% effort (warmup and cooldown of 5-6 minutes apiece)
Level 3: 12 minutes @ 70-75% effort, 6 minute break, 12 minutes @ 80-85% effort (warmup and cooldown of 6-8 minutes apiece)
Level 4: 14 minutes @ 70-75% effort, 7 minute break, 14 minutes @ 80-85% effort (warmup and cooldown of 8-10 minutes apiece)
Thursday 9/19 - Practice at 3:30. Warmup followed by a short length run with hill drills. The drills will be done on the Hultman Aqueduct where it intersects Cedar Crest Road.

Level 3: 32-36 minutes
Level 4: 42-46 minutes
