4) We plan to run the halls if it's too hot or stormy out. 

5) Looking ahead to meets, wearing racing flats/spikes is optional at some meets including our first meet on September 14th. These shoes are much lighter and offer better grip if you use spikes.

Red Smith Virtual Running Club: Sign Up Here

If you were following along our virtual cross country season, you know that wrapped up this past week. We would like to offer you the option of joining our virtual running club now that the virtual cross country season is over. 

1. We are planning on starting the week of October 18th (1 week from today).  

2. We have created a Mileage Log using Google Sheets to enter your mileage in. 

3. We have included every day of the week since we are all kind of on our own schedules at this point. So whenever you complete a run, you can enter it on the appropriate day. 

4. The sheet is designed to add up your mileage by week and also by month. 

5. We also have some content to share as we go along. We will include training tips, motivational quotes and input from you to post and share along the way. 

6. We plan to offer optional Google Meets as check ins and just to touch base. 

7. Remember, the best way to get better is to train consistently. Don't do too much too soon, but do something at least a few times each week!

8. Coach Wood and Coach King have been running, so don't let us outdo you ;)

10/5/20:

Our next Google Meet will take place at 4:00 this Wednesday, October 7th. 

8/23/20: Welcome to the 2020 Red Smith Virtual Cross Country Season! Wow, so much has changed in a year. I was reading updates below from last season and it just reinforced how different our world is right now. We are resilient. We learn to adapt and make the best of our situation and that's exactly what we are offering this year. 

Let's look big picture first. 

1. The actual Red Smith cross country season as you know it has been delayed to the spring. Please know that this is subject to change based on the world we live in, but as of now, an in person season is scheduled for next spring. 

2. We have decided to offer a virtual cross country season right now in the fall since we don't know for sure if the spring season will actually take place and fall is the usual time we have our cross country season. 

3. The virtual season and spring season are independent of each other. Participating in one doesn't mean you have to participate in the other and you can participate in both. We will deal with sign ups, schedules and anything else related to the spring cross country season closer to that season. 

Now onto the details:

1. We ask that you click on the sign up link if you plan to participate in the virtual season this fall. This will enable us to communicate with those participating more efficiently.  SIGN UP HERE

2. You can access the virtual schedule at any time by clicking 2020 Virtual Cross Country Schedule to the left. That page gives you access to a pdf version of the full season schedule with minimal notes. Below that link is a schedule you can click on by day to access specific workout notes for that day. You can also click on the +Google to the bottom right of that schedule to add the full schedule with notes to your device. 

3. We will probably keep a weekly schedule on the main page for easy access. This will feature the notes for each workout by day as well as any other communication we feel will be helpful. 

4. Notice we replaced team meets with time trials. You can pick any route and distance you like and run that course as fast as you can that day. This simulates racing. We also  tried to put notes on the real courses so you can pick a route that closely resembles the terrain of the real life course if that's important to you.

5. Have fun with this! Is this what the normal cross country season would be like? Many elements will NOT be like the real thing, but we've done our best to simulate the season given the current circumstances. Remember, we will get through all of this and we will do our best no matter what. A positive attitude goes a long way. We are all in this together!

6. The routes and workouts listed on the calendar are suggestions. We realize if you don't live in the Red Smith neighborhood, you won't have direct access to the routes listed/that we run during normal practices. Don't worry about that. It's easy enough to run from your house in your neighborhood and that's why I tried to note course route or meet terrain when applicable. 

7. Lastly, we are not in school or able to have a normal fall cross country season for a reason. We offer you a virtual season while trusting you will do your part to participate safely on your own. We DO NOT condone gathering in person in any way and trust you to follow basic guidelines like social distancing and mask wearing when appropriate if you choose to participate.  

8. If you are interested in participating in the virtual season, please sign up here.

Feel free to get together with teammates if possible :)
