Team practice schedule will be updated weekly so that runners' have an idea of what to plan for in practice.  Always be prepared for weather changes.  Remember to protect yourself; run with at least one other person, let someone know the course you're running and how long you expect to be gone, avoid vehicles.  NO MATTER HOW RIGHT YOU ARE AND HOW WRONG THEY ARE, IF YOU COLLIDE WITH A VEHICLE, YOU LOOSE!!!

If you can't make practice or have questions/concerns, email Coach Pfefferle at kpfeffer@gips.org

Summer 2010

check road race links at bottom of page for races


In the event that weather looks bad for summer practice, check this site and to see if practice will be held. If something isn't posted by 6:45AM, then practice is "on".

*** Weight training will begin on Monday, June 7th *** Coach Swanson will go over XC weight training program once we're done running (around 8AM).  Weight training is for your benefit to help prevent injuries (not to "bulk up") and is part of practice.  Weights need to be done at least twice a week (check on when weight room is open).  Make sure you record your weight training with Coach Swanson.

The training that you put in over the summer will be reflected in the Fall.  If you don't train over the summer, you won't be competitive in the Fall.  To excell in distance running you must make a LONG TERM commitment!
