Summer Training: Week of June 8

Below is the locations for our practices for the Week of June 8.  We will be starting each practice at 8:00am.  If you are someone in need of a ride, please let us know so we can help line up a ride for you.  Also, if you are unable to make any of the practices, and you do not have a summer workout sheet, please click on this link  or click on the link on the right side of the blog to get one.  Expect total time for these practices to be between 1 hour and an hour and 15 minutes.

These practices are a great way to get ready for the season and to be in a better position to reach goals, but we are also wanting these to be a way for those interested in joining the opportunity to see what our sport and team are all about.  

Monday - North side of Riverview Park

Tuesday - CRHS, West end of the Tennis Court Parking Lot

Wednesday - North side of Riverview Park

Thursday - Bunker Golf Course Parking Lot 1

Friday - CRHS, West end of the Tennis Court Parking Lot

Lastly, for those that signed up for the Lutsen Running Camp, the total cost is going to be $225.  This cost may change due to the gas and food prices, but we are also overestimating at this time to make sure we have enough.  Any money that is left over will be given back after camp.  You can also start making payments or pay for the whole thing.  If you have been on this trip in the past and have payed through Venmo, please do not at this time.  I have been having issues and will be creating a new account.

If there are any questions, please let me know,

Thanks,
Denny

Summer Training

As we get ready for the end of the school year, we start to prep ourselves for summer training and getting ready for the 2026 CC Season.

We will be starting our summer training on Monday, June 1st (We can work with the athletes from June 1st-July 31st, minus a week over the 4th of July), and we will be going at 3:15 Monday-Friday that week so that anyone that is a Middle Schooler and interested in either joining or ready for their summer training can be apart of it.   Starting June 8th, we will be having our practice time be at 8:00am, to beat any heat, Monday through Friday.  Locations for practices for the upcoming week will be posted a couple of days before the beginning of the week, but expect locations to be as follows for most weeks: Monday - Riverview Park; Tuesday - CRHS West end of Tennis Courts; Wednesday - Riverview Park; Thursday - Bunker Golf Course Parking Lot 1; Friday - CRHS West end of Tennis Courts.

One item that will need to be looked at for each athlete individually is when to begin their training.  If someone is still competing in an activity at the time we begin practices, we want them to focus on that.  If it is an activity, like Track, that just finished the week before, we want those runners to take some time off, at least a week, if not two, before they join us for practices.  The first week of practice is for those that were not in a spring activity or have been done for at least a week.  Rest and recovery from previous activities is just as important as building up mileage.  If there is anyone that is not sure what they should do, please contact me and we can discuss what should be done.

If there are any questions, please let me know.

Thanks and enjoy the rest of the school year!

2026 Running Camp

We as a Coaches are wanting to set up a Summer Running Camp that we are offering up to the whole team, a trip to the North Shore and staying at Lutsen Mt is what we are going to try and plan.  We would set the camp up for the last full week of July, starting on July 27th.  Originally we were thinking of a 4 day/3 night trip, but due to the current costs of lodging, gas and food, we have decided to go with a 3 day/2 night trip to make sure we don't charge too much. But, we do want to know what price limit everyone has, because we want anyone who would like to be there to be able to afford it.  (Cost would include Lodging, Food, and Gas for transportation, which are parent chaperones and myself driving).

One thing, however, in order to have a more definitive cost, we need to know how many people will be coming.  This could limit the number of possible new members to the team, but in order to assure lodging, we need to know sooner than later how many will be going.  So, we are asking that those that are planning to attend to please fill out the form below by April 30th!!  If there are new members that current members know about, it is ok for them to sign up as well so we know the numbers, so please forward this onto possible new members.  There will be some leeway on the numbers, but the sooner we know an exact number the sooner we can finalize the cost of camp (Last year, this trip for the same amount of time was $240/person, but we intentionally over-estimate and will return any left over funds).  If you are a parent and would like to chaperone/drive, please let us know as well.
