Consistency in June and July Builds Fall Success

Cross country athletes across Ohio have already begun building the foundation for their fall season. For those NOT competing at the Track Regionals last week or the State Track & Field Championships this weekend, summer training is officially underway.

The work you put in during June and July is what creates personal records, championship performances, and successful teams in the fall. Consistency is the key. Athletes who commit to running 5–6 days each week and stay dedicated throughout the summer give themselves the best opportunity to reach their goals when it matters most.

If you want to see significant improvement this fall, CONSISTENT 5–6 days a week training throughout the summer is KEY.

Make sure you are marking your runs Complete when you finish them! Training is progressive and we had a lot of non-completion this week.

🏋️ Summer Strength Training

On Tuesday, June 16 and Thursday, June 18 at 7:00 AM, Coach Rod will be offering lifting sessions at the HS Weight Room. These sessions will continue throughout July on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
