Meet in car rider area with proper athletic shoes and clothing for indoor and outdoor If you have competed in Cross Country in the past, you know that you will be competing in warmer temperatures. Therefore, we need to train in warmer temperatures. Please make sure to bring plenty of water and a hand towel. If you have an inhaler for asthma, you need to bring that as well.
What is Cross Country?
Cross Country is like walking outside on a trail only faster. Cross country courses are laid out on an open or woodland area. Courses will be grass-covered (mostly), and have rolling terrain with frequent but smooth turns. Courses consist of one or more loops, with a long straight at the start and another leading to the finish line.
Cross Country Conditioning Plan for 2021
I have typed the plan out in a word document. It was a little too long to put here. Please click on the document at the bottom of this page and let me know if you have any questions. It is very important that you start as soon as you can. Conditioning usually starts at the end of May. Conditioning is used to prepare athletes for racing and to prevent injury.
