Striders Off Week Information
Good afternoon! There’s not much happening this week but I wanted to send out a little information regarding Striders starting up in a couple of weeks.
I usually only post workouts for ORXC athletes in their Google Classroom but because we have runners from other school districts in the Striders program I will post workouts through SportsYou in addition to Classroom. This week is just maintenance. Runners need to get used to being on their feet and maintaining somewhat of a routine. More importantly, they need to rest and have fun. We spend around 48 weeks of the year training, these three weeks between the end of Track and the start of Striders are intentionally left open-ended with only a suggestion of a workout. Runners can run, swim, bike, play basketball, etc… They need to enjoy being a normal kid for a few weeks! We’ll have plenty of time to get them in top shape before the end of the XC season. Here is the link to this week’s workouts…

We have a special deal with Garmin for our runners to get watches. We do a lot of our workouts based on time and Garmin has a great app that uploads the runners’ workouts directly to the coach so we can see how they’re doing. It’s much easier than getting them to fill out training logs. If anyone is interested please email me ([email protected].) and let me know what you’d like to purchase. I will gather together everyone’s orders and send them to Garmin. Our ORXC/Track Booster Club will pay Garmin and runners need to pay the Booster Club. It’s much easier to do one big order than several small ones…plus we get discounted shipping. Here is the pricing breakdown…

We highly recommend the Forerunner 165 for high school and college runners. If an athlete wants a watch with additional features and triathlon support, then the Forerunner 265 is great.
