On Saturday, we will meet in the East student lot at 7:30 a.m. to drive down to the Highline Canal Trail for our weekly long run. The long run is one of the most important runs of the week this time of year, so we’d love to see as many athletes as possible there this weekend! Our biggest showing so far this summer for the long run has been 11 athletes… can we get to at least 20 this weekend?! I think we can! We’ll have snacks! If you’re struggling to find a ride, reach out to teammates and coaches!

The address for the Highline Canal entry point we’ll be parking at is 4101 S Dahlia St, Cherry Hills Village, CO 80113.

Ferritin Test Reminder: If you haven’t had your ferritin levels tested already, this is a very important thing to do! You can ask your doctor to test your ferritin at your physical this summer, or you can get it tested at other sites like Ulta Labs (which has multiple fast and convenient locations). Distance runners in Colorado often need ferritin levels over 50 to run and feel their best. Talk to your coaches about next steps if you’ve tested low for ferritin! We’ve had many kids test low over the years, but many who have been able to get their numbers up with proper supplementation.

We’ve had an AMAZING week of training so far! Let’s keep it going!

Go Angels!
