After reading the recap about our league championship and all of the hard work you have put in this season, you might feel you are in great condition if not the best condition of your life and, for many of our JV runners, your season has suddenly ended.

We like runners to take a couple weeks off of running sometime between the end of cross country and the beginning of pre-season track. Here are some ideas to help you maintain your amazing conditioning level, and perhaps, bring it up a notch or so. 

• Running club – If you enjoy running with friends and want to continue running after school, come to running club!  Running club will begin on Oct 26 (Thursday) and will meet on Tuesdays at 3:50 and Thursdays at 3:40pm.  Meet at the E.  See Sophie, Rae or Coach Kohuth if you have any questions. 
• Run on your own, with a dog, friends, family etc…, enjoy your running time. Think about signing up for community 5Ks.  
• If you feel like you need one more race and are willing to travel to Arizona in November, think about signing up for Nike Southwest Regionals.  Click here for more info:  
  • Nike Southwest Regionals info
• Pre-season track for distance will begin mid-January with Coaches Kohuth, Scudamore, St. Clair, Hess and Sanders.  Subscribe to the East Track and Field site to be notified when more information becomes available. https://easthightrack.org

Congratulations on a great season! 

GO ANGELS!!

Due to the rising numbers of the COVID-19 Virus, Denver East has elected to not participate in Session 8, which was scheduled to begin next week and run through December 4th.  As of now only Session 8 is cancelled and we will re-evaluate for Session 9 after the Thanksgiving Holiday, which is currently scheduled to begin December 7th, fingers crossed. 

We will be posting workouts to be done on your own here on the website two or three times a week. 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions.  Have a wonderful Holiday break, and stay safe!

Hey Runners!!  Hopefully all of you are finding ways to get outside and enjoy the sunshine and get in some miles!  Please send pictures of yourself and your running buddies (human or other, following safety guidelines) so we can share them!  Please check the training plan on the website by clicking here xc summer training schedule 2020— and please keep a training log!  It is even more important than ever that you are keeping track of what your training!  Since we cannot be with you, we need to see logs so we know how to adjust your training.  We will have more information soon on how to share that with us.

Please stay tuned for some upcoming google chats—I was having some technical difficulties, but think I have it figured out.

If you are going to be a senior and would like to be a captain, please send me a letter explaining why and what would make you a good leader for this team.  I have received several already, and want to make sure I know who is interested.  Please make sure I have your letter no later than June 1.  You can send your letter to: steven_kohuth@dpsk12.org

Happy running thoughts until we talk soon!

Coach Kohuth
