Distance Training: February 17-21, 2025

I. News and Announcements

A. Start of Track Season

Another very solid week of training in the books, the final week of our off-season. Official practice for outdoor track starts on this coming Tuesday, February 18, 2025! We’ll see you at the track at 2:30 PM. Hopefully the weather will have improved, though it looks a bit doubtful at this point.

B. Simplot

No race results to announce this week. We do have Evelyn Cook racing up at Simplot Games this weekend. She is running in the 1600M. The girls qualifying heats are on Thursday evening, scheduled for 8:40 PM. Finals are on Saturday afternoon…and Evelyn may run in the Freshman final, like Jeffrey did last year (I think). I don’t think anyone else is going up to race, so let’s cheer Evelyn on from back in Layton!

C. Register My Athlete

Remember to get on Register My Athlete in preparation for the season. Although the rest of the team does not have it’s first meet until March 13, 2025, if you want to race in the Snow Canyon invite on March 7, 2025, your Register My Athlete must be completed (with current physical) AND you must have paid all fees. So, don’t put this off!

II. Weekly Training

We are at the point where we’re starting to transition in our training toward more race specific work. This week marks the beginning of that shift. I’ll discuss more about it in this week’s video message. The schedule can be found here: https://northridgetf.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Weekly-Training-021725-1.xlsx.
