Summer training:

It is a long year of running in the northeast, since we have a high powered indoor season, to go along with xc and spring track.

Our objective for the summer:

* start easy and gradually build a foundation (base)for the year ahead.

* progression is very important. We would like everyone to gradually add mileage throughout the summer. The runs will include hills, flat trail running, and easy distance on the roads. Starting in August, we will begin some easy intervals starting at 3:00 (800M) or slower. It is a long season! We are getting ready for the end of October and November!

* variety, fun, run with a group, stay healthy by eating right and getting enough sleep.
