Summer Training

Summer is upon us and it is time to start getting ready for the 2016 Cross Country season.  Our summer practices are going to begin on Monday, June 13 at 9:30am, meeting in front of the high school.  After the first week, we will be going to the Coon Rapids Dam for our Monday practices, and Bunker (meeting at Golf Course Lot 1) on Thursday's.  Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday will still be at the high school.  We will also start an evening practice after the first couple of weeks for those that are not able to make the morning practice.  I will send out more information when we get to that point (please check our blog page, coonrapidscc.blogspot.com or our facebook page).

Another thing of note, there is a new weight training program that all of the teams at Coon Rapids are to do, but we will not be doing more than just Tuesday morning (7:00-9:00am).  The reason for this is that it is an anaerobic program and running is an aerobic sport.  I can't tell runners not to do the full program, every day, but I would suggest not because you will get burnt out, and if we have an hour to an hour and a half to run, I would prefer we spent our time running.  The program can help with strength and your finishing speed, which is why we will go one day a week, but it will not help you in a the long run of things.  If you chose to do the program, either all summer or just when I would like the runners to go (which I can't force anyone to do either, but it is good for whole school connections), you will need to pay. I am attaching the information sheet for the program, but if you have any questions, please let me know.
