Summer running for fall cross country is HIGHLY encouraged. Preparing your body for the fall running season is one of the best ways to prevent injuries and feel strong heading into the season.
Here are some fun ways to get moving this summer with your family, teammates, or on your own.
- Extra Milers- is the perfect place to start summer training! We meet on Mondays at the Dow Center @ 7pm and Wednesdays at Tunnel Park @7pm. HC high school and middle school coaches lead and will be at these runs all summer. Parents, siblings, and friends are also welcome to walk or run along. FYI: The group is also open to other area schools, so you may even see a friend from church! The complete calendar can be found HERE.
- Personalized training plans- if you are someone who wants a little extra push, likes a checklist, and is ready for a more structured summer running plan please contact me! Together, we will make a plan that works with your schedule and ability. FYI: The plans include age-appropriate strength and cross training days.
- On your own- if you can't make it to Extra Milers we would still love for you to run on your own at least 3x per week. Here are a few local options I like for running: Riley Trails, Sanctuary Woods, Saugatuck Dunes, Helder Park, and Upper Mac Area.
