Hi,

We have put together dates for our virtual races....we will run the race schedule outlined by the SBAA here: https://sbrunning.org/event-3883099
If you would like to be included in the Grand Prix, then use the above link to sign up.

The dates we will focus on for the races are as follows:

Mile: Aug 29th
5K: Sept 19th...same dates as proposed carlsbad
5Mi: Oct 17th
10k: Nov 7th
Half marathon: Nov 21 or 28th.

We will make sure to race either by having a runner take off every 30seconds interval style (nordic skiing style) or another socially responsible way.

This will be a great way to continue to continue our progress and have one race feed fluidly into another as they are arranged in perfect order:)

Saturday 6/27/2020

Hi,

Reminders for practice protocol....seeing what's going on with Covid at the moment, making sure everyone feels safe is our priority.

Goal for tomorrow is to have groups of no more than 8-10 running together, so we will start you in pace groups.

We don't expect you to wear a mask running, but please when we meet as a group before we begin, wear your mask. While running next to your running partner in parallel fashion is fine, if one of the two of you tires, that runner should slow down enough to be 8-10ft behind the other.

Meeting post workout, either wear your mask or acknowledge the 6ft protocol.

Tomorrow we are meeting at the Vieja Valley Elementary School 6:30am, where we will warmup 40min and meet at the Laguna Blanca track by the tennis Courts on Las palmas Rd.

See you all there!

Saturday 6/6/2020 RETURN OF PRACTICE!

Hi! We are very excited to have practice tomorrow, but also don't know what to expect in the future as depending on how the virus progresses we may have to curtail practice again, but one week at a time. Please check the blog often for updates if there are any. We, as a community, need to take care of ourselves and in that vain want to stress that if you aren't feeling well...fever, cough or any other signs that you may not be 100%, Please stay home...unlike past times when many of us show up regardless  of how we feel:)

Goal for tomorrow is to have groups of no more than 8-10 running together, so we will start you in pace groups as best we can since we aren't sure who will show up tomorrow. We will dial in specific groups once we see who shows up tomorrow.

We don't expect you to wear a mask running, but please when we meet as a group before we begin, wear your mask. While running next to your running partner in parallel fashion is fine, if one of the two of you tires, that runner should slow down enough to be 8-10ft behind the other.

Meeting post workout, either wear your mask or acknowledge the 6ft protocol.


Tomorrow's workout:

Goleta Beach 6:30am

1x3mile on Bike path from Goleta Beach to Bike path/Turnpike intersection @85% effort

1mile jog back to the 2mile mark on the bike path

1x2miles@90% back to Goleta Beach

Tuesday 6/2/2020 and SBRR Practice resumes Saturday 6/6/2020...STAY TUNED FOR CV19 PROTOCOLS


Hi Everyone! We are excited to begin official SBRR practice again after 2 months off!. As you have heard Boston is now a virtual event….WWI or WWII didn’t stop Boston but Covid 19 did! Very sorry to those that worked so hard to qualify and aren’t going to get a chance to race it this year. Good thing is, that carrot will still be out there for you. We have been seeing so many SBRR runners doing some personally challenging, some would say, crazy feats that require some incredible fitness, strength and perseverance….for example, yesterday Gabe Luna finished his running of  the calendar (1mile on the 1st, 2miles on the 2nd all the way to 31miles on the 31st!!)...that's 196miles for his last 7 days!! Monica and Deanna ran 45 miles with over 10, 000ft of climbing....INSPIRING for sure! I am certain there are many more quarantine stories and we would love to hear them and share them. Please send our way. Pic below is of Gabe after his 31mile run on his 31st day...and, of course proud Coach Mike 




There is much to think about regarding a thoughtful return to group practice and we need to be respectful of each other and aware of those around us as we resume a group setting during these times. We have spoken with our fellow runner and resident expert on infectious disease, Lynn Fitzgibbons, in coming up with a sensitive and deliberate protocol which we will outline in Friday's blogpost. please note depending on how things progress we may have to curtail practice again if necessary to keep each other safe.

lastly for Tomorrow's workout:

3-4mi warmup, strides x 6, mile@just over 90% effort (~10K race pace), 3min jog, 6x2min@just slower than 5K race effort with 1min jog between, 3min easy jog, then 4min at threshold effort (to flush your legs after the hard work), cool down 2-4miles depending on your overall mileage

Looking forward to seeing you Saturday!!
Mike/Rusty
