This is our first week of official track season. Most of the boys have not done much or any running over the winter. There are a select few (perhaps 10-12 guys) who did a significant amount of work in December and January, and they are really showing the benefits of having invested the time and effort. The crucial thing will be health (isn't it always?) and making sure I keep an eye on those who are in need of a careful progression to solid volume totals.
In all, the outdoor season for us is a maximum of 18 weeks from the first day of practice to the state championships. There is time, so patience is important. However, I also must not neglect the duty I have to prepare these boys to race and race well regularly throughout March, April, and May.
