Training Tips:

• Be sure to hydrate properly especially on these hot days. Runners should be drinking 3-4 quarts a day.
• Eat a healthy lunch during the school day.
• Keep a training log/diary of your workouts.
• Consistency is the key to improvement. This means running at least once over the weekend. Talk to Coach Smith about suggested workouts over the weekend. Call/email a teammate(s) and run together. It will make you and the team better!
• Be careful not to add mileage too quickly. A good guideline is not to increase your weekly total mileage more than 10% a week. Example: If you ran 20 miles last week, you would want to run no more than 22 miles or so the following week. This guideline will keep you from adding mileage too quickly and getting injured.
