Summer Training Update

Summer strength and conditioning, a/k/a "Core at Four", is set to get under way Tuesday, June 28th under the large tree on Franklin Street in front of the WHRHS Tennis Courts at 4:00PM.  We have some new things planned for this summer's edition.  ALL are welcome.  Bring a friend.  You don't need to be a member of the XC team to join in, but if you are, and have been following a summer training plan, bring your training log.  Any Cross-Country runner who has yet to create/form/receive a summer training plan should speak with one of the coaches for suggestions.  August 22nd, our first day of formal practice is not all that far away, and you don't want to arrive unprepared.  It will be here before you know it. Let the countdown begin:

Countdown to August 22

While we have put together very safe and effective training plans based on our athletes' current perceived conditioning and ability, at a very minimum, beginners could begin with a 7-week training schedule approved by the Mayo Clinic.  I don't know if there is a simpler and easier way to get started.  Whatever it takes.  Yet, I'm certain some will arrive August 22nd having done nothing. But the ease of the Mayo Clinic 5K Training Plan should eliminate the need for any explanation for doing so.  That plan can be found at the following link:

Thank you to those who attended last week's meeting.  We hope to see many of you at "Core at Four."
