We caught up with Campo Verde Coyotes of Gilbert, AZ on the week of their season-opener meet in Coolidge, for some grueling half-mile repeats in 108-degree weather. Throughout the workout the boys and girls encouraged each other to give their best repeat after repeat. Up next for the Coyotes will be the Desert Solstice Festival down in Tucson, AZ.
According to Coach Applebach, the goal of this workout was to elicit vVO2Max for as long as possible with the rest in between each rep, equal to the prescribed interval pace.
