Schedule Update: Training Guidelines

greenglove — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 18:34:32 +0000

I know how excited you all are to get training! I’ve attached directions to all of our practice locations as well as copies of the training schedules for our spring season…As usual, keep these guidelines in mind when choosing one to follow:
Advanced Runner For those used to running 6+miles, 3-4 times/week
Intermediate Runner For those used to running 3-4 miles, 3-4 times/week
Beginning Runner/Run-Walk For those running 2-3 miles, 3-4 times/week or transitioning from a walking to a running program
Advanced Walker For those who’ve been walking 4-6miles/day, 3-4 times/week
Beginning Walker For those who are up to the 3-mile walking requirement for joining the team

You don’t absolutely have to do everything on the day that’s listed, but try to stay true to the spirit of the schedule:
1. Choose the schedule that is right for you right now. Don’t be afraid to start with the beginning walker or runner schedule if you’re new to training or haven’t been out in awhile. All the schedules are designed to do the same thing…to get you to cover 13.1 miles successfully on June 26th! Doing more than you’re ready for will only increase your risk for injury and breakdown!
2.Focus on consistency. No weekend warriors! Try to train 5 days/week…even if you can’t do as much as the schedule says. Consistency will help you build the stamina and endurance you’ll need for the long workouts and for your race. It will also help prevent injury. And, besides, having a regular exercise routine is good for you!

3.Include one long work-out each week. We will gradually increase the distance of this workout over the next 16 weeks. Ultimately, you will all do at least one workout in the 10-12 mile range before the race. Some of you advanced folks will hit that distance during the first 6 weeks of the schedule.

4.Make cross-training part of your routine. Include at least one cross-training training day/week….helps build fitness, prevents injuries, and keeps you mentally fresh!

5.REST!! Rest days are an essential part of training! Don’t be afraid to take the rest days!

Team Transplant Starts Up Next Week (August 10/15)

greenglove — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 17:19:51 +0000

Hey everyone!

Finally! Here they are...All of the forms for the 2009-2010 Team Transplant season! Attached you’ll find the team registration form, race entry, FAQ sheet, and fee sheet. Remember all forms must be submitted before your first practice or before the last day to sign up which is on Sept. 7th. Transplant recipients will need updated physician release forms (click on forms on left side bar to print out or download).

I will be sending out the training schedules very very soon. Training will begin the week of Aug. 10th, and our first group practice + KICK-OFF Breakfast will be on August 15th. We’re still deciding on the location. Time will be the usual 8:00am.

I will also be sending out apparel information very very soon…Shirts (which will be long-sleeve and a lovely foliage green color) are separate from the membership fee this year. We are also considering sweatshirts as well as reflective vests, and of course, we still have plenty of hats (both the fleece and brim versions) as well as socks available. Post-race party information will also be sent out at a later date.

So get your pens out (or palm pilots or i-phones or open up facebook)…Here is an initial list of important dates to mark down on your calendars:

* Monday, Aug. 10th…Training starts (plan to get schedules out you to by this weekend!)
* Saturday, Aug.15th…8:00am, location to be announced…First Group Practice and KICK-OFF Breakfast!
* Thursday, Sept. 3rd….5:30pm, Green Lake dirt track, first evening practice
* Saturday, Sept. 5th…FORMS ARE DUE!!
* Sunday, Oct. 4th….Issaquah Salmon Days 10k
* Tuesday, Nov.24th…Team Transplant Spirit Day!
* Sunday, Nov. 29th….Seattle Half Marathon + Post-Race party!

Another event to consider…

The American Liver Foundation Walk for Life is Sept. 20th.

Wondering if a Half Marathon in Seattle in November is right for you?

Consider this…from Olympic marathoner Dathan Ritzenhein’s training blog….“Standing there won’t make it stop raining.”

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns…Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you on the 15th!

Happy training…and stay hydrated!
