Kickoff Meeting

 Here are all the bullet points we discussed today:

• 20-30m/week to Start
• 40-50m/week by end of season
• Tuesdays are 100% optional.  Another good day to rest in the early season if you are fatigued.  I'll always be running a circuit workout at the track with Core Exercises.
• Thursdays are on your own.  If you are feeling fatigued, just don't run.  If you are feeling good it should be an easy short day
• Friday and Saturday combination are key
• Friday long and flat potentially with tempo

• Breakfast when feasible

Summer Cross Country

Welcome to Bountiful High Summer Cross Country!

As a new season begins, we are extremely sad to say good bye to Ben.  He has been an exceptional coach and friend to all who have trained with him and we will miss him. Thank you Ben!

I’m excited to get to know you all and train together. I love to run and have some cool ideas for conditioning this summer.  

If you are interested in participating please register here and join me at the school track this Wednesday May 25 at 3:15 for a short introduction and information meeting  

See you all then,

Trent
