Summer Training 2020 Week 1

Summer Cross-Country training is upon us. Remember to follow the training calendar for those times you can't make practice due to illness or family vacations or whatever takes up part of your summer.

Remember the second runs are only for our experienced runners. Beginning runners need to build up a base before they start adding second runs. Second runs should be in the afternoon or early evening.

We meet at Hillcrest each morning at 6 am in the north parking lot by the concessions building. We will start practice each day with a symptoms check for all athletes, coaches, and super seniors.  On travel run days we will then go to the site of the run. For each of the travel runs, I have links of directions from Hillcrest to the destinations.  Runners can be picked up at the site of the travel run or back at Hillcrest depending on the transportation arrangements you have made for your child. Your child will not be left to wait alone at any of the travel run sites.

Make sure you properly hydrate.  You hydrate for the next day's practice each day.  I would also recommend brining a water bottle each day to practice

2020 Parent/Athlete meeting

The 2020 Hillcrest XC Parent/Athlete meeting will be held virtually on Wednesday May 27th at 6pm.  We will use Google meets for the meeting.  You can use the meeting name (Hillcrest XC 2020) to join directly from a csddocs account.  You will also be able to use the join codes the evening of the meeting.  I will post the join codes here after 5 the day of the meeting.

We'll continue with the two workout tracks.  If you are planning on trying to run some fast time trials between now and Memorial Day, do workout option 1.  You should be winding down time trials soon.  This week would have been state.  If you want to just build up a quality base for XC, do option 2. If you are needing to cross train, do the number of minutes that it would take you to do the listed run. No matter which option you are using, log your miles on the google doc.
