Game Face!
Take notice of this runner's form. From his head, to his arms, torso, and legs, right down to his feet; this is an exemplary 
picture of an experienced runner!

With the excessive amount of high temperatures we have been experiencing lately, it is very important to stay hydrated before, during, and after your run.
Remember, although there are certain times that should be attainable, your health is more important!
Focus on breathing, pacing yourself, and completing your goal to the best of your abilities.

Start Preparing!
Trial # 2 is right around the corner and we want to make sure everyone is prepared!
Before the previous mile, Mr. Burnett touched upon stretching particular body parts involved in running the mile. For the second trial, we want to make sure everyone understands how important it is to incorporate a Quadricept stretch, a Hamstring stretch, a Gastroc/Soleus stretch, and an Iliotibial band (IT Band) stretch.
For those of you that do not know, IT band syndrome is a very common injury in the thigh that often occurs to runners. Extending outside of the pelvis, over the hip and knee, and inserting right below the knee; the IT band is crucial in stablizing the knee during running.
In order to help reach your maximal effort in this second trial, we recommend properly stretching the listed muscles before running the mile again!

Attempt # 1
Congratulations class, Attempt # 1 of the mile went great!
With everyone's enthusiastic effort their first trial, we are only making very few and slight changes for next week.
Being that everyone seemed to support the "starting at your own time" theory; we will be keeping that motive, simply splitting the class into 2 opposite starting points. Having half the class at the original starting point and the other half starting at the original finishing point; this will prevent extra chatting and failure to pay attention to the partner's times, splits, hyrdration levels, heart rates, and RPE's.

Set a Goal!
The one-mile run is scored in minutes and seconds. With a score of 99 minutes and 99 seconds, this indicates that the students could not finish the distance.
Set a goal before starting the run!
For boys 17+ years of age, somewhere around an 8 minute mile is a very reasonable goal.
For girls 17+ years of age, somewhere between 8-10 minutes is a reasonable goal as well.
Falling into either of those given Aerobic Capacity goals indicates a "fit" person in this specific aerobic catagory.
