High School
Cross Country Information
2010
1. The first official practice is Wednesday
August 11th at 8 am in front of the high school. All Practice schedules, rules, Athletic Code
will be online at:

2. Make sure that you have a current physical,
IHSA steroid consent form and insurance waiver signed and on file in the
office. You cannot practice without
these on file.
3. Summer Workouts. These are on your own. I encourage you to run as much as
possible—this will help build up your “base” before the start of official
practice. Try to increase your mileage
weekly by 10-20%. Also mix it up with sprint
work (400s, 800s, etc). If you are
playing basketball, join the swim team, etc, all of these can substitute for a
workout. Remember the value of rest—take
a day off here and there to let your body recover!
4. Weight Lifting. The weight room is open at different times
during the summer. Please check out the
link on the CC page for times you might be able to lift.
