PR Bars and Practice 4/7/09

Today was a fun practice. We are starting to try to build some more endurance among all the athletes, so most of the groups got 2-3 laps of "striding (running) the straights and jogging or walking the curves." After doing some dynamic movement exercises (high knees, bumkicks and bounding) , the Pink Group and the Green Group did four 200's, working on technique of running on the inside of the lane. The Yellow Group did 4x 50yd, and the Purple Group played some Foxes and Hounds.

We ended practice a little early to have an awards ceremony and recognize all the athletes who improved their times at the meet on Friday. They were presented with a "PR Bar" (PR= Personal Record), that had a list of their new best times/distances and the margin of improvement. I encourage you to try to remember those new PR's and strive to beat them in the next meet. We talked about who our #1 opponent should be-- OURSELVES.

If you missed practice, we will get your PR Bar to you on Thursday.

Way to go Tracksters!!!
