Lukewarm Hot Chocolate Night! BYOM!
Who: Registered runners preparing for spring track (or spring XC for ESD/VSD middle school runners).
What: BYOM, or Bring Your Own Mug, is a night where lukewarm hot chocolate will be served at the end of practice. In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, reduce waste, and reduce the absorption of plastic in our bodies, runners are encouraged to BYOM, or bring their own mug, preferably one made from aluminum, ceramic, glass, or stainless steel. To learn more about the environmental and bodily health implications (CVD, autism, cancer, reproductive health) of plastic consumption, check out the podcast below!
The training will be for sprint, middle-distance, and distance runners. Upon arrival, runners should sign-in on the clipboard beneath the canopy, place their belongings under or around the canopy, and begin lightly jogging around the track or on the turf around the soccer field (yellow line).
When: We will aim to start practice no later than 5:40pm and end by 6:50pm. Time before 5:40pm is dedicated to signing in and warming up. Drills will begin by 5:50pm, followed by the workout, cool-down, and dynamic/static stretching.
Where: Hudson’s Bay High School Track, 1601 E McLoughlin Blvd, Vancouver, WA 98663.
What to Bring/Wear: Runners should attend dressed for the conditions wearing layers they can peal off as they get warm: shorts, sweat bottoms, shirt, long-sleeve shirt, windbreaker jacket, and possibly gloves and hat. They should also bring a water, small snack, and any medicines/pharmaceuticals they might need (inhaler, EpiPen, etc.).
