Summer training

SUMMER TRAINING INFO

While official practice does not begin until August, participating in practice throughout the summer will help you build a foundation for a successful fall. During this time, the team will be working hard and having fun along the way. Athletes will run at a variety of locations, get to know their teammates, and participate in other team bonding and running-related activities.

Summer practices are optional, but it is encouraged that you attend as regularly as possible. If you cannot be at practice, you should still complete the run listed on the prescribed training calendar. Summer training is crucial to your success this fall. It lessens the likelihood of injury and is the foundation on which you build your fitness. If you jump into training at the end of the summer after not running, you will be far less prepared for the start of our season.

While we understand some athletes may be working with club teams or running summer road races, the expectation is that runners will follow the Fossil Ridge Cross Country training program when present at out our organized team practices.
