Middle School Practice Schedule

Please find below what is hopefully the last week of summer conditioning before the long awaited official start to the middle school cross country season.  However, I do want to make everyone aware that there have been some developments regarding our meet schedule.  I know it seems like it's bad news everytime I have to make an announcement, and I'm really sorry for that.  But like I said last week, some things are beyond our control, and one of the unintended consequences of delaying middle school sports is that some of our early season meets had to be canceled due to PIAA rules.  The PIAA mandates that a team's first competition cannot be any sooner than 19 days after their first practice, which means that we cannot have a meet before 9/27.  Therefore, our meets at Butler on 9/09, at Fox Chapel on 9/16 and home against Seneca Valley on 9/23 have been canceled.  We were lucky to only have three meets affected (Boardman & Cal U. were already canceled) because other sports had many more games impacted.  I've reached out to all of the opposing coaches, and they are committed to rescheduling those meets.  In fact, the meet at Butler has already been rescheduled for 10/13.  Coach Hunkele and I will work with AD Simmons to try to get Fox Chapel and Seneca Valley rescheduled asap, and the good news is that we got the Legends Invitational added on 10/10.  The link to our meet schedule can be found here on the Booster's website https://www.prccboosters.org/Default.aspx?tabid=2460977.

M 8/31  2.5 to 4 miles easy plus 4 x 15 sec striders  

T 9/01  3 to 4.5 miles with 2 or 3 x 1K @ 3K to 5K pace (2:30 to 3:00 recovery in between repeats) plus 2 or 3 x 200m fast (jog 200m recovery in between).  One mile warmup and cool-down before and after the repeats.

W 9/02  2.5 to 4 miles easy plus core strength 

T 9/03  3 to 4.5 mile Fartlek run with 1 or 2 sets of 15-30-45-60-45-30-15 sec surges with 30 sec jog in between each surge.  Warmup and cool-down one mile to 2K before and after the Fartlek segment of the workout.

F 9/04  Cross-train (swim, bike, row, etc.) 

S 9/05  4 to 6 mile long run (this run can be done on Sunday if that works best with your schedule) plus core strength 

S 9/06  Rest

15 to 23 miles total for the week

Let's keep the ball rolling,

Coach Souders
