Phoenix,
We are officially in to August this week! This summer has flown by. Make sure you dominate the final few days of July, and enter August at full speed.
Our first race is coming up in just over 2 weeks. We will begin practicing Monday-Friday on 8/11, with Saturday long runs continuing as they are.
Make sure you have completed register my athlete - check the dropdown menu at the top of this website for more information on that.
If you aren't in the first period XC class already, it's not mandatory, but it is super helpful to be able to run easy in the morning before another afternoon session. It makes it easier on the body to hit the proper volume, and for those not needing the double run, you can cross train in the morning, which is hugely beneficial as well. We end each class period with breakfast provided by parents of the team.
This week
You'll notice we are only meeting once this week. You should get with your partners, and do group runs each day. Make sure you are running even though it is not an organized practice. Next week we will begin workouts in earnest!
