Our purpose is to construct you into a robust cross-country runner.
This week is week 3. Your trip is over. Now’s the time to construct constant constructing blocks to being one powerful cross-country runner. We need to assist all 560,000 girls and boys in highschool cross nation! We adore it!
Wednesday is a relaxed run day, however preserve it within the hills. Hills are our secret sauce!
When Joe Mangan and I had been teaching at Foothill Group Faculty in Los Altos Hills, California, we had a secret weapon: hills.
Actually, we’d take 800m to 5000m runners, and in six weeks, construct them into form to race a 4-mile cross-country run on powerful, hill programs throughout Northern California. We did a number of hill runs and hill repeats.
Hills are secret weapons, and they’ll make you stronger, whether or not you might be pushing the hills or taking them simple. A day in hills is tougher than a day on the flats, at all times do not forget that!
We are going to use hills this summer time to construct your confidence, power and velocity!
