One more day...

If you attended and ran CC at Hop High, or competed in the "Squidly Invitational", then you're familiar with some of Coach Nagle's workouts - like, "start with a Martinique and bring it up the hill to a Pickeral Point and back down Durban to the track".


If that training route makes sense to you, then the "500 Mile Club" also has meaning.


Each year, to motivate our team during the summer, our coach created a training program from June 1 to Sept 1 called the 500 mile club (or 300 mile club, whichever is your speed). To hit 500 miles during this period, averages out to about 5.5 miles per day or 36 miles per week.


It's no wonder that during my 3-year HS Cross Country career that our team record had just 3 losses in 3 years and won the county title Senior year with an undefeated season.

So here's your chance to to keep running and accomplish something you haven't since HS. Starting June 1, set your goal for the summer whether its 500, 300 (or in Tim's case +1,000!). A strong running base will enable you to have a good summer base to run in races durnig 4th of July, Labor Day and a strong Fall racing season - if you're so inclined to run a 10K or even Half- or Full Marathon!
