It's here and we're going to give it a shot... CAMP WEEK! Thanks for all everyone has done in helping plan for camp, and thanks for everyone staying healthy so we can have it. Last week was another strong one capped off by some very positive results at our Pioneer Day 2 Miler. And thanks to all who got their registration and physical done (which was ALMOST everyone).
Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts see us move to the SWEP phase of our workouts (which means Speed With Endurace Process). This will include more long CV paced intervals (which we actually did a sneak preview of last week) and continued focus on distance and hills. This phase is really the meat of our training; this is what makes you strong and fast aerobically - ready to handle the rigours of racing a hard 3 miles of XC.
This Week's Schedule:
We will meet this week Monday through Thursday at Washington Elementary at 6:30a to give just a little more time for packing and getting ready for camp. Those who are going will then meet at the Rec Center at 11:30a to pack up and leave. Please see the previous post for packing list and info for drivers. PLEASE REMEMBER ATHLETES AND DRIVERS TO WEAR MASK IN THE VEHICLES. Those not attending camp will practice on their own this week, and we will practice on our own (or with your own organized group) on Friday and Saturday as well.
Weekly Challenge:
Learn and implement the great things we do at camp.
Minutes:
Please use this form and update your minutes and set a goal for yourself for this coming week (the more specific the goal the better) - and catch up any weeks you might have missed. This is how we will earn our minutes awards for the season.

Youth Summer Running Club Challenge #9:
It was fun to see some of you at our team 24th of July race. This week the team is headed to our camp. One of the best things about camp is getting to run in some new places and on some trails. Your Challenge #9 is to go find a trail (or some dirt) of your own to run on. There are a lot of fun trails to run around town. Talk to a parent and see if they can take you to one (or find one near your house) that you can go run for a little while on. While your running, notice how it is different to run on a trail than on the pavement and have some fun!
Remember, we are doing this in place of our usual summer club. If you are able to do 8 of our 10 weekly challenges you will earn a special award. And if you complete your summer marathon of 26.2 miles, you'll earn your certificate. So use the links below to keep track of your progress and keep up the good work!
