  • 2016 Vista Nation XC Training Document (link will be posted Sunday night. The password will also be emailed to everyone on Sunday)

Summer Training Log
Make a copy of the document below, and share it w/ Coaches Dalby, Selle, Finger, and Palmer. This will allow us to help you out with your training during the summer. Every athlete on the team is expected to update your training log daily. 
  • Summer 2016 Training Log (We are currently typing this up)

Training Groups
I will explain the groups in more detail the first week of practice. Selle and I will also talk with each of you about which group you should be a part of. For now, here is the basic overview:
  • Group 1: New runners, freshman, and athletes that need a lower milage program (will start the summer around 10 miles for the week and work up to 20 to 35 miles a week by the fall)
  • Group 2: Athletes that have been running for at least 1 year w/ Vista Nation at the high school level, sophomores, and runners that need an intermediate amount of mileage. Girls will eventually work up to 35-40 miles a week. boys 40-45 miles a week. 
  • Group 3: Our athletes that have been running with us 3 to 4 years as a part of Vista Nation. Athletes that are ready for a higher mileage program. Girls will get up to 40-45 miles for those running 3 years, and those ready for the challenge will get up to 45-50 miles. Boys will work up to about 50-60 miles for runners that have been in the program for 3 years, and those ready for the challenge will work up to 55-65 miles a week.

Uniform Turn-ins
If you still have a uniform from track, please bring it to the first day of summer conditioning to have your track fine waved. 

Gear Orders
Denver athletic will have online orders ready for us in a few weeks. Anyone wishing to order gear, and have it before the Vista Nation XC 2-Mile Invitational in August will need to order in June. Once I have the link I will send it out to everyone.
