The first official day of practice is August 17. Athletes are expected to arrive in shape as the first two weeks are a tryout period. To help with this we will have summer workouts for athletes to do on their own. This will be a seven week training plan beginning next week and go up until the beginning of the season on 8/17. It will be posted this weekend in the tabs to the right. On top of this we will have captains practice every Tuesday and Thursday at 7am starting June 30 at woodman field. Both the summer training plan and captains practice are important pieces for levels to prepare for the season ahead.
Athletes are expected to follow their assigned training plan and make the effort to attend the training sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays. To find the workouts/weekly training schedule make sure you are looking at it on a computer, this way you will see the tabs on the right. Freshman and those who are doing cross country for the first time should complete the new to xc workouts. Showing up on August 17th without doing any of this will have you steps behind everyone on the team and those you will be competing against down the road; it could also cost you a spot on the team.
Just a reminder all athletes must be cleared to participate on August 17, but you do not need to be cleared to participate in summer training. Parents and athletes are asked to frequently check the blog as items will be posted throughout the summer with information in regard to the season (ie. clearance and any/all changes that may occur). Any and all questions can be sent to runningmounties@gmail.com
