A lot of momentum was built during the 2024-25 school year. From the fall cross country season through the indoor and outdoor seasons, so many outstanding efforts, so many personal bests, school records, and so many performances on our all-time top-5 lists! Beyond the racing, practice was fun and rewarding, and we can't wait until practice resumes again in August. To those departing our program, you will truly be missed - you are appreciated for all that you gave to our team, and you are loved for who you are.
Now, the road to next year begins!
As you begin training for next year, the progression for the summer should be... first, increase the frequency of running... second, increase the duration of runs... and third, increase the intensity of runs. So early on, run more often. Run twice a day more often. Then, increase the durations of those runs. We'll get to the intensity part later on, be patient.
Hopefully the 2025-26 annual volume spreadsheets, with summer notes and recommended summer training, will go out soon. In the meantime, for those who are getting back to training, begin with light runs. Every day should contain 10-15 minutes of stretching, foam rolling, mobility work, leg swings, etc. To keep in sync with our normal routine, plan on Monday's always being one of your off days. A weekly blog post on Sunday night will continue through the summer, so always check back in! Lastly, as in the past, the blog comment section will serve as the way to report your weekly training and we encourage everyone to do that.
