Organiser's Description
This 6-week program is geared toward youth athletes roughly _10 years and older _looking to improve their running form and pacing. Most sports Arlington youth play require running - either anaerobic bursts or more continuous aerobic efforts - so we will work on building their base, knowing when to turn on the gas, and all paces in between.
We will plan to meet at the Washington-Liberty High School track [https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Departments/Parks-Recreation/Locations/Parks/War-Memorial-Stadium]. If a W-L sports event closes the track to public use, Coach Kate will notify parents ahead of time (if/when possible). If the track is closed, we will meet at the nearby Oak Grove Park [https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Departments/Parks-Recreation/Locations/Parks/Oak-Grove-Park].
DETAILS:
* WEDNESDAYS AT 6:00PM (finished by 6:45pm)
* Starting 16 SEPTEMBER and wrapping up on 21 OCTOBER.
* PARENTS ARE WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE - you don't need to register and run at your own risk, of course. Or take the opportunity to get your own workout in.
* Each session will involve a _warm-up followed by repeats of varying distances_: some days we will do shorter sprint-based repeats; other days we will do 400m and/or 800m repeats. And there will be at least one endurance-focused session: run as many laps as possible in a given amount of time.
* Coach Kate will provide guidance on FORM AND PACING along the way.
* The kids will receive a POST-RUN SNACK at the end of each run.
* The last session (21 October) will culminate in practice 3K AND 5K RACES.
* All athletes will receive a MEDAL AT THE END OF THEIR PRACTICE RACE - help your kids work toward that goal!
