January 29, 2006 - PGC Indoor Meet & Focus for rest of Winter season
Coach Julie writes: "On behalf of all the coaches of Loudoun Special Forces Track Club I would like to congratulate all 29 registered athletes and our guest runners for their outstanding results at yesterday's Sportsplex Showcase track meet. Every individual and relay performance contributed to a wonderful team effort. A big thank you to all the parents for giving up your day to encourage and support your child (children) and all the Loudoun Special Forces Track Club members at the longest Sportsplex Meet that we have known. Those 400M just went on forever!" 

"We would like to step things up a little now so that the athletes can peak for the final indoor meets in late February/ early March. On days when the weather is good, encourage your child to do an easy 20-30 minute jog/ light run if it is safe to do so. All athletes should start doing the active stretching exercises we always do before training and racing and the strength exercises. Ideally, the feet strengthening exercises should be done without shoes. Similarly the post exercise stretches should also be done. No hard training/ efforts on Saturdays prior to training/ racing unless they are participating in another sport on that day. The emphasis of our Sunday training will transition from building an endurance base, and working on pacing, to "quality" work for faster running. Thursdays will remain form, strength, and injury prevention work." Partial results are available here.
