This is the training plan leading into sections. If you are able to be at practice you should be. That is the expectation. Section runners are apart of a team. Be there if at all possible. If not follow this to the best of your ability. This plan helps develop speed and intensity while allowing enough recovery to be fast. You all want to be fast. This will help you get there. Your team needs all of you to be ready. Mr. Kyes
