SUMMER Off-Season Training
TO-DO List for Student-Athletes:
Gather 10-20 emails for our 12-Hour Relay Fundraiser (a run-a-thon type of event) and start your Fundraising Page - click here for instructions
[OPTIONAL BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED] - Track your weekly running mileage throughout the summer. One easy way to do this is to use an app like Strava (we've got a club for our team you can join HERE). You could also keep it simple and print out a blank calendar and write in your daily/weekly mileage. If you want Coach Bryn to shoot you a template to keep track of your summer training, send her an email at bryn.saunders@delasalle.com or a message on Remind 🙂
[OPTIONAL] Join the HOKA SUMMER Miles Club and earn FREE swag for summer running
