SJA Track and Field 2018!: January 2014

This week - January 27, 2014

Hi all,

The plan this week for sprinters is to workout as normal...Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday...expect to be done around 4:45 this week instead of the typical 4:30.

Distance runners - until the super cold is gone and the sidewalks are run-able, I cannot really prescribe days to run. If you have access to treadmills at home or at a club, then go for it. There are many things you can do to build your fitness. You can set strong inclines, you can do 1 minute pick ups at a faster pace, you can do tempo runs, and you can do intervals (not so easy). You can also go to a hill outside, do some sprints in the snow-covered grass, or just run through the bike path and get your heart rate up quickly slogging out some miles. Remember that anything is better than nothing, but something planned is better than anything. I'll be sending a note to the team soon to talk about motivation, goals, and pushing yourselves.

Thank you all for enduring with the long day on Saturday. That is about as long as any track meet I've been to. They are usually much better run than that.

Throwers be sure to check with coach for what your schedule is.

thanks! Coach Kieser

week of Jan 20

Hi all,

It looks like the next couple of weeks will be a test for all of us in more ways than just the EOCs. We are in for a big cold snap. Combine that with some goofy school schedules and it makes for a tough go for indoor track.

I only ask that you do the best you can. Be disciplined in your studies and training, budget your time wisely, and try to remember your goals – both academic and athletic. Success later depends upon paying a price now. Whether that is skipping “friend time” to study extra or finding a treadmill to run on during a 15 degree day – sacrifice is sacrifice in the name of doing something great.

With that said here is this week’s plan.

Monday 29 degrees and some snow…no school but YES PRACTICE. I hope you can make it! Sprinters 11:00am-1:00pm, high jump 12:30pm-1:30, distance 1:30-3:00.

Tuesday 13 degrees – no scheduled practice

Wednesday 15 degrees – early dismissal – captain led practice done by 3:30.

Thursday 17 degrees – EOC schedule – practice 12:30-2:00pm

Friday 22 degrees – EOC schedule no practice

Saturday 27 degrees – meet at YSU (events to be posted soon)…bus leaves 7:30am

Thanks!! Coach Kieser

Week of Jan 13, 2016

2 big things to pay attention to this week...

1. Based on weather, this week's best days for practice are Mon, Tues, and Thurs. If you have a conflict on Tuesday just let me know please. Please have appropriate clothing for outside. We will likely stay inside Thursday, but you never know...:-)

2. I have posted a tentative itinerary for the Youngstown State Meet on January 25. It is under the page titled "Indoor 2014 schedule"...click on "tentative itinerary".

Please check to make sure you can go and that you are listed in an event. I have to submit these online very soon, so the more accurate we can be the better.

DO NOT SAY YOU'RE GOING TO THE MEET THEN NOT SHOW UP!!! THAT IS A BIG NO-NO!

Have a great rest of your Sunday and finish up Quarter 2 strongly!

thanks, Coach Kieser

Week of Wednesday, January 8, 2014

Hi SJA Indoor Track and Field Team!!!

AS I wrote before break, I will post our workout days before school starts - I should have sent this out sooner than 7:15PM on Tuesday though.

Here is the plan, and it can only apply to those who have their physicals up-to-date...that list I sent out before xmas break, but will repost below. The date of your schedule is when you last had it and it is good for one year. If it is out of date, get it updated ASAP! You had all xmas break and 2 bonus days to do it! thanks!

For this week, since we didn't have school on Monday or Tuesday (and I'm still holding hope on Wed), we WILL PRACTICE Wed, Thurs, and Fri.

Wed is early dismissal and home bball game, so we have to work fast.

Gab will lead sprinters through a warm-up session in the gym for the full team including distance and sprinters. After the warm-up throwers go to weight room to lift, sprinters and distance go to stairwell.

Sprinters run fast to top of stairwell then walk back down on outside edge.

Distance/MD run fast to top of stairwell then jog to other end of 3rd floor hallway, down the steps to basement, and jog along basement hallway back to original stairwell.

All distance and sprinters do 10 min of core when done.

Should be done by about 3:15

Thursday, Jan 8

MD and distance and throwers to be determined

Sprinters with Coach Kieser 3:15-4:30

Friday, Jan 9
