Track Season

As Winter barrels on, I find it amazing that the track is and has been clear of snow for a few weeks now. In few weeks, when the season starts, chances are snow will fall again. The typical Wisconsin Winter makes you feel like spring is near, but soon after slams you with another foot of snow. Prolonged cold and snow that lingers into April makes the track season difficult to manage and keep training on track. In a perfect track world, I would move my team to Jamaica to train year round under the sun with the best athletes in the world. An indoor track would be nice, but I guess a basketball gym and hallways will keep us moving until Wisconsin lets the warmth of the sun reach us once again. Trying to plan out the season is useless. Practice changes with the weather and the weather changes daily. The only way to keep making progress is to have a massive list of activities targeting different energy systems that can be used at anytime. It must be nice to live in a warmer climate where weather is never a factor.
