Most Guys will Start June 14th. With 2 weeks of Easy Running.  The guys who ran Easterns will Start June 21st.  The Guys who ran the Grand Prix will start June 28th.

The first VO2 max test will be June 27th.  Use the 1st two weeks to set your running schedule.

A few quick notes that will help you this summer.

1) Run either early or late.  Avoid the heat of the afternoon.

2) Stretch before and especially after you run. See this page Click the Link Check Bottom of page for when to do which warmup

3) Circut Training should be done according to schedule. Click the Link

4) If you want to do a road race instead of the time trial that is fine.  The goal of the time trial is to see how you are progressing.  Try to run the same course each time. If the race you want to run is on a Wednesday, and the time trial is scheduled for Saturday, don't be afraid to switch the days.Try to run it together.

5) If you know you have to miss a day, rearrange the workouts so that will be your day off.

6) Start the timed runs at about 7:30-8 minute pace.  Get faster if you feel you can. As the summer goes on you should be averaging a faster mile pace, but I want you to be strong not fast when practice starts.

7) TALK TO EACH OTHER. RUN TOGETHER AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN

8) Be mindful of the Heat and take proper precautions to remain hydrated.

9) the Captains will be in touch. The Captians are Christian Raslowsky, PAt Sulivan, Dominick Ronan and Ben Karam

XC Warm-up

There are Three Types/Progessions of Warm-ups you should be doing, based on the type of main Workout you are doing for the day:
 
  1. For Easy Pace Runs, Long Runs, and Recovery Runs, and Circuit Training Days (when you have the day off from running):  Do Dynamic Stretching only (no skips, no foot drills).  You shouldn't need to do anything more than that on your lighter days ( whether you are doing an easier pace or not running at all).
  2. For Tempo Run, do Full DSS first before 1-2 mile warm-up.
  3. For vO2Max Runs, Hills, Intervals, and 5K Races, do
      1. Do 1-2 mile Warm-up First (do what it says on the calendar),
      2. Do DSS,
      3. Do a Few Hard Strides before beginning Main Portion of Workout
