Reminder! Track & Field meeting this Friday, 1/23 3:15 Senior Tables on the MCHS campus.
-Come meet a few of the new coaches and get information about the upcoming season.
To parents: This meeting is NOT mandatory for parents, but you're welcome to come get information or meet/talk to the MCHS coaches. -We'll also have a parent team meeting on Wed, Feb 18th 5:30 MCHS Track.
Attention all athletes! ...Before you can practice, you will need your Clearance Slip from athletic directors stating you are clear to practice. This means you've turned in your athletic packet or had the A/Ds transfer your paperwork from a previous MCHS Fall or Winter sport.
Also important to fill out the Athletic Donation Form. This is Page 2 of this Athletic packet. The Donation Form must be returned signed by a parent. ...Here's a copy of the form from last season (We'll have more of these forms at the tables on Friday):
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Participating in the Maria Carrillo Athletic Program is a very valuable experience that contributes to a student’s overall educational and character development. There are many costs attributed to athletics that cannot be totally sustained through school funds. These costs include the purchasing of uniforms, equipment, first aid supplies, awards, and most of all providing student transportation. The cost of the transportation for Track and Field alone traditionally totals more than $5000.
In the past the buses were paid for with a transportation fee that was required to participate in school athletics. Recent legal changes have resulted in schools not asking for transportation fees. At this time, we are asking for a $50 donation. Please be assured that this donation is not a condition of participation in the athletic program.
Please detach and return the slip below with or without the donation attached:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STUDENT’S NAME:_________________________________________________________________
Please check the appropriate donation box.
☐ My donation is included (Please note "MCHS Track & Field Team Donation" in the memo space and make checks payable to MCHS PAB)
☐ I am not able to make a donation at this time
Parent Signature:_____________________________________________________________________

PREVIEW OF OUR COACHING STAFF FOR THE UPCOMING TRACK SEASON!
...With Head Coaches Ian Myers and Michael Pointer and long time Assistant Coach Michael Balasek all stepping down from their positions last season, it's been a significant challenge to pull together a replacement crew for this upcoming season!
...But we're getting it done! -See below to see how the 2015 Track and Field Coaching staff is shaping up; we've managed to pull together quite an impressive line-up of part-time Assistant Coaches, but still looking for another Head Coach to share the burden with Greg of managing the team (especially on meet days) assist with all the administrative tasks (expecting a roster of ~160!) and help sustain the winning tradition and awesome experience that is MCHS Track and Field.
First day of Track and Field practice is Feb 9th! ...As a reminder, the track season is longer than XC = 14 weeks for most leading up the NBL Championships and 17 weeks for those elite few qualifying for the State Championships on June 5/6.
HEAD COACH #1) Greg Fogg
HEAD COACH #2) TBD -Please contact Greg ASAP if you know of anyone that can commit to 5 days/wk + some Saturdays?
2015 Volunteer Assistant Coaches (commitments vary between 2-4 days/wk):
-SPRINTS/RELAYS: Herbie Polk, Sr., Cliff Newsome
-DISTANCE: Sheryl VanTassel, Matt Bennett, Salvador Avelar, Marion Maassen
-THROWS: Joel Duran
-HURDLES: Ian Myers
-LJ/TJ: April Harris
-HIGH JUMP: Taylor Cerini
-POLE VAULT: TBD (slight possibility Emmi may come back if not, we'll prob. NOT have PV!)

Winter Distance Training and a preview of the first 6 weeks of Distance Workouts for Track!
...If you have not started yet, time to start getting ready for track!
...First day of track practice is only ~5 weeks away; are you following the weekly mileage program Matt put together? Link ...It's super important that you use this time to get your base mileage in and try to build up your weekly mileage and everyone should be getting in at least once a week, a longer run of 8+ miles...
Here's a peak of what the first 6 weeks of track workouts look like, hope you're ready! ;)
February Link
March Link
...Do you need more clarification on what to do? ...Do you want to do more?
What level of fitness are you at? ...Pick the level that describes you best?
LEVEL 0) Ugh! ...I’ve not been running much since XC season!
LEVEL 1) I’m just doing EZ runs for now, following Matt’s Winter mileage program, incorporating some speed work, strides, surges into my training
LEVEL 2) I want to PR early in the track season; I’m following Matt’s Winter mileage program, doing EZ runs consistently for at least the past 3+ weeks, including some speed work, strides and surges but now, I want to add some variety to my speed work and possibly a few tempos into my weekly routine
LEVEL 3) I really want to go for it this upcoming season! -I’ve already been doing everything prescribed thus far and I’m solid at LEVEL 2 (including core + form drills + some light speed work) but would like a custom training program for the next 5 weeks to be as prepared as possible on Feb 9th!
Below are more details/suggestions to adding to your weekly run routine, besides EZ runs. These are necessary components to move from LEVEL 1 to LEVEL 2:
FORM DRILLS (at least 3-4 times/week): Always do your form drills; even If you think your form is very good, you need to keep working on it to maintain the strength and reinforce proper mechanics. Alberto Salazar quote, “Not working on your form is like driving your car with a lug nut loose on your wheel; eventually that nut gets loose, then looser, then affects the other nuts, then the wheel completely falls off...”
CORE STRENGTHENING (3-4 times/week): By now, you should have some level of a core routine, even if it’s only for 10 minutes. ...This will keep your core strong, enable better/more efficient running mechanics and provide overall less stress on the rest of your body. There are plenty of core strengthening routines out there, but contact Sheryl if you need ideas. -Enough said, just do it!
SPEED: You need to keep the element of speed present in your weekly workout routine, especially important when getting prepared for track season! ...Examples you can throw into your EZ run routine
A) Hill Surges (1 time/week or every-other-week):
-Find a hill somewhere on your EZ run (incline same as hill repeats we’ve done in XC/best if done after the 1st mile); do 6-7 repeats x :15 second hard, then walk-jog down (~45 seconds rest)
-Fountaingrove Hill: Start at bottom, jog 45 seconds, then hard 15, jog 45 seconds, repeat; do this hill 3 x, should give you 9 repeats total, along with a long jog recovery downhill after each set
B) Sprints (2 times/week):
-Track sprints and Bleachers! -Don’t wait until track season to introduce your legs to speed on the track! Also, bleachers are good for calf development/hip strengthening/mobility and help to give you that “pop” off your mid-foot strike; remember to keep form on bleachers, whether your stepping up slowly or sprinting. Best to do a ~1 mile warm-up with the usual drills prior and very important to NOT do this if anything is sore or too tight; any sign of strains (especially in your glute, hamstrings and calves) = shut-down immediately! ...Also very important to complete an adequate warm-up (1 mile EZ run, then form drills, leg swings, etc...) and focus on proper form mechanics during, then stretch/roll after:
-Week #1) 4 x 100m: 80% for first 50m, then 90% for the last 50m > walk (or “step-up” slowly) 2 x bleachers, then sprint 3 x bleachers
-Week #2) 5 x 100m: 80% for first 50m, then 90% for last 50m > walk 3 x bleachers, then sprint 4 x bleachers
-Week #3) 4 x 200m: 80% for first 100m, then 85% next 50m, then 90% last 50m > walk 3 x bleachers, then sprint 4 x bleachers
-Week #4) 4 x 200m: 80% for first 100m, then 85% for next 50m, then 90% for last 70m > walk 3 x bleachers, then sprint 4 x bleachers
-Week #5) 4 x 200m: 80% for first 100m, then 85% for next 50m, then 90% for last 70m > walk 3 x bleachers, then sprint 4 x bleachers
C) Mid-run Intervals (1 time/week or every-other-week):
-Similar to what we did in XC; drop 1:00 surges at 5K race pace in the middle of your run; start with 4 x 1:00, progress to 6 x 1:00, that’s enough!
TEMPOS (1 time/week): Good to break up EZ pace routine, maintaining lactate threshold system; these workouts are great mental toughness training/reasonably low-stress on the body vs. intervals!
Add Short, “light” Tempo bursts in your run: ...Just throw some random pattern of an up-tempo pace, similar to the 1:00 Mid-run Intervals, but keep it gentle at Tempo pace, not 5K race pace!
-Example Up-Tempo every 8:00 for 2:00 x 5 for 50 minutes = 8:00 EZ > 2:00 T > 8:00 EZ > 2:00 T > 8:00 EZ >2:00 T > 8:00 EZ >2:00 T > 8:00 EZ >2:00 T
-Example Up-Tempo every 7:00 for 3:00 x 4 for 40 minutes = 7:00 EZ > 3:00 T > 7:00 EZ > 3:00 T >7:00 EZ > 3:00 T >7:00 EZ > 3:00 T
Longer Steady Tempos: Similar to what we’ve done in the past, good to throw-in 7:00 or 8:00 steady tempos in the middle of your run:
-Example 3 x 7:00 tempo 60 min total = 20:00 EZ warm-up > 7:00 T > 3:00 rest jog/walk > 7:00 T > 3:00 rest jog/walk > 7:00 T > 3:00 rest jog/walk > 10:00 EZ
-Example 2 x 10:00 tempo, 40 min total = 10:00 EZ warm-up > 10:00 T > 3:00 rest jog/walk > 10:00 T > 3:00 rest jog/walk > 4:00 EZ
For LEVEL 2, your training pattern should look something like this assuming for the next 5 weeks if you’re running consistently 5-6 days/week:
2-3 days/week = just EZ runs
2 days/week = EZ + Speed (choose from either A, B or C above; keep short hill repeats once/week and OK to progress to 3 days/week by Feb 9th)
1 day week or every other week = substitute EZ run for EZ +Tempo
1-2 days/week = OD or longer EZ run

...Do you need more clarification on what to do? ...Do you want to do more?
What level of fitness are you at? ...Pick the level that describes you best?
LEVEL 0) Ugh! ...I’ve not been running much since XC season!
- Greg’s Recommendations: Hopefully, not too many people are here! BUT, it’s not too late, just get started running ASAP and salvage your track season, plus you'll avoid nagging injuries during the track season. Find a spot at what ever level your current fitness is on Matt's Winter training program (be realistic), even if it’s starting at the "Green" level and running every other day, then work up into Vegas after a few consistent weeks, etc...
LEVEL 1) I’m just doing EZ runs for now, following Matt’s Winter mileage program, incorporating some speed work, strides, surges into my training
- Greg’s Recommendations: That’s really good, just keep it up for the next 5 weeks!
LEVEL 2) I want to PR early in the track season; I’m following Matt’s Winter mileage program, doing EZ runs consistently for at least the past 3+ weeks, including some speed work, strides and surges but now, I want to add some variety to my speed work and possibly a few tempos into my weekly routine
- Greg’s Recommendations: That’s awesome! ...See below for some specific suggestions
LEVEL 3) I really want to go for it this upcoming season! -I’ve already been doing everything prescribed thus far and I’m solid at LEVEL 2 (including core + form drills + some light speed work) but would like a custom training program for the next 5 weeks to be as prepared as possible on Feb 9th!
- Greg’s Recommendations: Wow, that's amazing! ...So you want to break-through to another level! -E-mail me greg.fogg@comcast.net and outline what you’ve been doing for at least the past 4 weeks AND what you are willing to commit to for the next 5 weeks
