Training Aug 28 to Sept 10 and Bronco Roundup
Below are the workouts we did from Aug 28 to Sept 10 plus the Bronco Roundup results.
Obviously the new members of the team will not be able to handle all of this. However, since each quality session also includes several miles of warm-up and cool down, they'll get their base mileage in just by running to and from the workout venue. As they progress they'll do more and more of the faster running. On Sept 9th we have our 2nd meet.... The Bronco Invite. Hopefully we'll have some of the new runners ready to compete by then. Since Bronco has novice races, most of the team should be able to run.... All races at Bronco are 2 miles.

Islander Cross
Country Teams Compete at Bronco Invite
Last Saturday our girls' and boys' cross country teams
competed at the Bronco Roundup hosted by Rancho Bernardo at Kit Carson Park.
The Roundup is a popular early season meet for many of the better cross country
programs in the county. We managed to get into the Division-1 races which were
limited to 15 schools. The significance of this for the girls' team is that our
top two Western League rivals, University
City and Cathedral Catholic, as
well as our top CIF rival, Sage Creek,
were also in the same race. All races
were 2 miles long over rolling hills with a series of steeper hills starting at
the one-mile mark for about 450 meters. In the girls' Varsity race, Teresa Perez placed 3rd with a time of 11:40
followed by Madden Hundley who
clocked 12:16 for 19th place. Abigail
Hundley was 35th in 12:46 followed by Claire
Morris (41st in 12:51). Jessica Ehret rounded out the scoring
in 46th place with a time of 12:56 followed by the pushers Naya Tamirez (12:59) and Natalya Gomez (14:03). Team-wise the girls placed 3rd overall with
135 points. La Costa Canyon was 1st
with 65 and El Camino 2nd with 70.
University City placed 6th with 155, Sage Creek 7th with 174 and Cathedral
Catholic 8th with 177.
The Coaches Poll for the top 10 teams in the county just
came out and the Coronado Girls are currently ranked 5th overall.
They’re the only CIF Division IV team in the top 10.
In the boys'
Division-1 race, Spencer Busby
placed 7th overall with a time of 10:17 followed by Ian Hurlburt (25th in
10:40), Cole Mullins (11:04), Casey Harris (11:14), Connor Jaynes (also 11:14), and Grant Hawthorne (11:34). Sage Creek won overall with 87 points.
Cathedral Catholic placed 8th with 205, Coronado was 9th with 208, and University
City was 10th with 254. It's too early in the season assign much significance
to the team placings as, like us, many of the schools probably didn't have all
their top runners in the race. But, at least, we appear to be in the running.
In addition to the
varsity heats we had several runners in the JV races.
In our girls' JV race Abby Fabiszak ran 15:33 followed by Regina Czerewko in 16:03, Kate Ruiz in 17:23, and Emma Kilfoil in 17:34. For the boys' JV race Andres de la Lama ran 12:14 followed by Kento Kitabayshi in 12:46, and Will Leonard in 13:43.

Training 16 - 27 Aug and results of the Vaquero Stampede
See the Paces tab at the top of this blog to get an idea of how fast these workouts should be.
Wed 16 Aug:
4.3 Mile Base
Ran from school to 1st and Alameda, along Bay, Under Bridge to Pomona Park.
Then 3 x 1k at race pace at Pomona on new course with "hills."
Finished with 2.6 miles back to school.
Approx 6.8 miles in all.
Thur: 40 minute relaxed (recovery) - core
Friday: 40 minute steady distance (slower than tempo) or long run
Sat: Special Endurance 2 (8x400 on grass) ~5 seconds faster than date 1600 pace
Sun: Rest -- core
Mon: 30 minute tempo run (pace adjusted for length of run ... see Paces at top of Blog)
Tues: Speed on track … 8x200
Wed: 45 minute recovery/Base/or long run depending on athlete
Thur: 1st day of school base/recovery or 1.5 mile Time Trial for new runners
Fri: 30 minutes easy + strides if running at Vaquero
Sat: Vaquero or base/long on your own
Sun: Rest -- core
Here are the results of the Vaquero Invite:
The Islander
Cross Country team took a full girls' varsity team and a partial boys' team to
the first invite of the season, the Vaquero Stampede, which is run around Lindo
Lakes in Lakeside. There were around 50 schools entered in 3 divisions but we
entered a little too late to get the girls' team in the fastest races. In the
division II girls' Junior/Senior race Teresa Perez cruised to an easy win over
the 1.65-mile flat course with a time of 9:25. The second-place finisher, Rose
of Sharon Wilson from High Tech High, clocked 9:51 followed by Islanders'
Madden Hundley and Naya Tamariz in 9:56 and 9:59. Sixth place went to Claire
Morris who ran 10:10 followed by Natalya Gomez who ran 11:08 while finishing
19th to round out the scoring. There were 93 finishers. The top 3 teams were
Coronado with 26 points, Bonita Vista with 66 and Del Norte with 70. Hundley probably would have placed 2nd but at
the start she was shoved from the back and went down hard on her shoulder. Because of this the race was stopped and restarted
so Hundley ran with a sore shoulder and a nasty scrape. Sometimes Cross Country
IS a contact sport, especially where there are 100 starters on a narrow path.
Our other girls' event was the Division II Frosh/Soph race. In that heat, our
two new runners, Abigail Hundley (Madden's Sister) and Jessica Ehret placed 7th
and 8th with times of 10:17 and 10:18. The pair are not new to running as they
were the top 2 runners in our middle school "farm team" last season.
They were the first freshman finishers out of 110 runners. Not a bad start. In
the Division-I girls' race University City placed first with 53 points followed
by Cathedral Catholic in second with 63, and Steele Canyon with 83. When all
the races were combined there was little to separate University City, Cathedral
Catholic, and Coronado. I'm bringing this up because now we're in the Western
League with UC and CC. The girls' league
races are going to be very competitive this season.
Because of
SAT and a few other conflicts, we had only 5 boys running, one freshman and 4
in the Jr/Sr race. In the Frosh/Soph race Grant Hawthorne placed 20th over the
same course the girls ran with a time of 9:19. He was the 3rd freshman to cross
the line. In the Jr/Sr race Spencer Busby placed 7th over the 2.15-mile long
course with a time of 10:57. He was
followed by Kenneth May in 17th with a time of 11:15, Cole Nichols in 12:16 and
Connor Jaynes in 12:31.

Early Season Training
Here are some examples of early season training broken-up into New or Just Starting Runners and Returning or Experienced Runners. Also you may be someplace in-between. Don't think that the training below is written-in-stone as the most important part of your training is constancy and getting in the weekly long run. Don't skip a lot of days.... try to run nearly every day. Each day, unless stated otherwise you should do the strides as explained in the post immediately below this one. Let me know if you want me to set-up a Google Docs training log just for you. That's the best way for me to keep track of your training on an individual basis. All I ask is that you use it and post to it after every workout.... Coach Green

Day 13 See Post Below for Pomona Hills … Both groups do the hills
Day 14... Rest Rest
Day 15... 40 Min Base - No Strides 45 Min Base - No Strides
Day 16 ... 20 Minute Tempo Run
Take your best 1600/mile time from track this season and add 20 seconds.
Then look at the Daniels Table at the top of this blog to find your tempo pace.
For Example someone at 4:27 would use 4:46 for a tempo pace of 5:40 or so.
Someone at 5:32 would use 5:52 for a tempo pace of around 6:53.
After a 2 mile warm-up and dynamics try to hold this pace for 20 minutes.
If you can't without it feeling like a race, jog for a couple of minutes and start back up. Continue like this until you've run at pace for 20 minutes.
New runners .... just guess at it and run progressively faster than you normally would for a base run.
===================================================================
Pomona Hills:
2 mile dynamic warm-up
Jog 1st mile. 2nd mile bounding, skipping, last 200 very fast
6 x 120 - 200 meter hills From the Sidewalk along Pomona next to the playground to 8th street in Adella.
Jog back down.
2 mile jog home .... core after hills or at home.
400 Meters Race Pace Workout
2 mile dynamic warm-up.
8 x 400 at current 5k race pace
See the tab at the top of this blog called "Daniels Pace Chart" for the pace.
You'll have to guess at your current 5k pace... guess slow and if you feel ok you can pick-up a bit.
Take a 2-3 minute break in-between. If 3 minutes isn't enough recovery you're running too fast.
* If you're new just do 8 pickups of 90 seconds during a 30 minute run.

Day 15... 40 Min Base - No Strides 45 Min Base - No Strides
Day 16 ... 20 Minute Tempo Run
Take your best 1600/mile time from track this season and add 20 seconds.
Then look at the Daniels Table at the top of this blog to find your tempo pace.
For Example someone at 4:27 would use 4:46 for a tempo pace of 5:40 or so.
Someone at 5:32 would use 5:52 for a tempo pace of around 6:53.
After a 2 mile warm-up and dynamics try to hold this pace for 20 minutes.
If you can't without it feeling like a race, jog for a couple of minutes and start back up. Continue like this until you've run at pace for 20 minutes.
New runners .... just guess at it and run progressively faster than you normally would for a base run.
===================================================================
Pomona Hills:
2 mile dynamic warm-up
Jog 1st mile. 2nd mile bounding, skipping, last 200 very fast
6 x 120 - 200 meter hills From the Sidewalk along Pomona next to the playground to 8th street in Adella.
Jog back down.
2 mile jog home .... core after hills or at home.
400 Meters Race Pace Workout
2 mile dynamic warm-up.
8 x 400 at current 5k race pace
See the tab at the top of this blog called "Daniels Pace Chart" for the pace.
You'll have to guess at your current 5k pace... guess slow and if you feel ok you can pick-up a bit.
Take a 2-3 minute break in-between. If 3 minutes isn't enough recovery you're running too fast.
* If you're new just do 8 pickups of 90 seconds during a 30 minute run.
