Kickoff Meeting

 Here are all the bullet points we discussed today:

  • Summer Objectives
    • Conditioning - Build a strong base for racing season
    • Multiple locations and terrain
    • Have fun 

  • Training Philosophy
    •  Training Calendar - is the bible.  This will always let you know where we are.  I won't change it often, but it's always good to check the night before to make sure.
    • 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
      • Saturday Mueller or other trail with climbing

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
