Redhawks,
We have a short week ahead of us, and the schedule might get tinkered with a bit more, but here is what I know for now.
I recommend getting a workout in tomorrow. I advise what I call "cut down 200s". You'll run 600m sets, getting faster with each 200. The first 200 is around 3200-5k pace, then get 3-5 seconds faster each successive 200. Then jog 400m-600m recovery (very slow, so 3-5 minutes recovery) and go again. We'll do 3 sets and of it's too easy do 1-2 more.
A few things to know. First, the Simplot Games which were scheduled in Mid February have been cancelled. I know this is a disappointment to many of you, and for me too, but we'll just have to take our disappointments out on the track through workouts and races.
If you are interested in racing at BYU this weekend, here is the link which will give you all the info. There is a lot of info on there, so please read it carefully. Notice the registration instructions as well as the COVID protocol, including proof of vaccination or negative test.
If you do sign up, please email me which events so I can attempt to be there. For now I'm planning on going to see the mile on Saturday morning. Also, ENTER A TIME when you register, otherwise you will be placed in a heat of rookies. Enter your PR time or something close to it.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Coach Jacobson
