MISSION STATEMENT

Athletes will meet 3 times a week (Listed below) to complete a variety of training runs designed to help the athlete build a solid base and transition smoothly into the fall XC season. All runs and workouts will be designed based on the athlete’s current fitness level and there will be a variety of training groups for runners of differing ability levels.
Program Details
This program is for those high school and college age distance runners wanting to work out with others during the Summer. Coaches Shadrick, Rogers, Liu-Hermstein, Goodie, and Lang will lead the program.
