Q: Coach Rawle,
My daughter is in 6th grade and just finished her first season in track and field. She has really enjoyed track and would like to continue. I was wondering if you have practice or camps during the summer. We would really like to work on form and increasing speed. Any suggestions?
Thanks
A: Glad to hear your daughter enjoyed her first track season and she wants to continue with track.
I usually hold track practice though out the year, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to continue training and even competing.
Cost for the Track Club is $35 per month. If you want to compete,, need a USATF yearly membership, which is $20 for year. Uniforms run around $30-$55 depending on style.
Practices are on Tues/Thurs @ 6pm @ Marcos de Niza HS in Tempe and/or Mon/Wed @ 5pm @ Hamilton HS in Chandler. Sunday Hill Training Sessions are now being held at 8am (call) and 5pm. Choose one!
Q: Hello!
I will be visiting the Phoenix area next week and I am looking for a challenging group to run with. I compete as a professional triathlete and my running is relatively strong. I am wondering if I could attend your group sessions next week - specifically Thursday night and Sunday morning. I am wondering if you could tell me more about these workouts and if it would be possible for me to attend.
Thanks so much!
A: Most definitely you can attend our training sessions. Just stop by and introduce yourself to either myself, another coach or one of our athletes. I am usually at Marcos de Niza around 5:45pm and practice starts at 6pm.
Depending on what phase you are at in your training, I will give you the appropriate workout. It's always a good idea for athletes to break the monotony of the longer stuff for some shorter faster repetitions that will touch your speed and anaerobic threshold.
Q: Please send me the speed workout for my daughter and her friends for this summer track season. Thank you very much
A: You can check out "Our Training Programs" or "Sample Speed Workouts" on this web site. You can also find a lot of my workouts that I give to my athletes at my BLOG.
Remember: 2 to 3 fast workouts per week will have her running faster than she would if she did slower longer stuff. Remember slow running makes for slow racing. http://getfastgetfit.blogspot.com/
Q: Rawle,
Is personal training at Phoenix College an option for you?
Johnnette
A: Absolutely, I try to make it as convenient as possible for my clients within reason. Please let me know if you are interested in a training session. The first session is always FREE, so you can kind of test the waters.
Note: My afternoons and evenings Monday thru Thurs are usually very busy, but mornings and day times are very flexible.
