IF YOU WANT TO REALLY TRAIN FOR THE UPCOMING CROSS COUNTRY SEASON JOIN THE SUMMER STRIDERS XC PREP PROGRAM NOW!

MISSION STATEMENT

The Summer Striders is a resource designed for high school and college age runners pursuing excellence in cross country. Coaches will tell you that XC champions and championship teams are made in the summer! 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.

Come as often as you can and want to.  Running at least 4 days every week this Summer will give you a chance to stay healthy this Fall when you join your high school team and will be running 6 days a week.

If you have any questions email Coach Phil Lang ([email protected])
