Below you will find two training plans for June and early July designed to prepare you for the start of the cross country season. The most important factor in your success is consistency. Either training plan will be effective if you progress gradually and follow it consistently. The first plan is intended for athletes who previously competed on a high school team or have run consistently for a middle school program. The second is designed for athletes who are new to the sport of running. If you're in town during June, we strongly encourage you to attend as many coach-led practices as possible.
