Big crew today, and of course my co-coach is out this wk, so it was 18-1 runner-coach ratio! Oh well. Went through race strategy info and muscle soreness alleviation methods during dynamic stretching, then form drills & a HR Test: 800M with the last 400 at balls-out. then the pulse test. Though not terribly accurate, it worked ok. Got it from Peak Performance, as suggested by Btb on another DMers post the other day. Noted all their rates, Good for future interval training for them. Then I worked the older/faster ones through another 2 x 400 w/short-ish jog recovery, 90 secs. Barefoot strides to finish the workout, but that was a bust when four of the little kids got sand spurs in their soft little footsies!! Ugh. Well-intentioned and no parents were mad, thank goodness! Now off to dance class w/my gal! Run Strong Friends!

    18-1. You were out manned! Or out childed. That's when you should just herd them all up and play a big game of tag. Good stuff you are doing with them Steve, ingraining good habits right from the start. Something we as adults could use more of.

    Way to manage a crowd. I thought about doing BF strides today at the track. Our track is rubber, and the grass didn't look all that even so I was a little nervous as I've never done them before. I hope you and Mrs. Shep enjoyed the dancing!

    And I thought 13-1 was bad for soccer practice. Nice job keeping it all together and putting them through the rigor.
