Running Ahrens Cross Country Summer Training

Any athlete who is motivated to improve in any sport must work hard in the offseason.  Cross country runners are no exception!  Building fitness over the summer is imperative to running your fastest in the fall.  Whether you're gearing up for the cross country season or just looking to get a little work in to help you out next track season, our coaches are here to help you prepare for a season full of PRs and medals!

Rather than going it alone, train with us this summer!  Each session will begin with a warmup tailored to the workout.  We will cycle through a variety of workouts throughout the summer to help build conditioning as well as showcase some sample workouts could be incorporated into the runner's summer training.  Also included will be a few short discussions on relevant topics such as race preparation and injury prevention gleaning from the wealth of experience of our coaches.  

Every runner will receive a Running Ahrens gift on the final night!
