Week 4 MVXC 7/29-8/4

As July comes to a close and August begins, we turn to our next phase of the XC season! Focus and intensity will begin to change this month. We will also hope to get more numbers out for voluntary practices as we approach our team camp at Little Cultus on 8/12-8/14, which is not mandatory, but very fun! I will post more details on our team camp this week before our moratorium week begins. It is important to make sure all athletes get signed up for XC before August 15th. Sign-ups open on 7/29 and can be found on the Mountain View Athletics page https://www.bend.k12.or.us/mountainview/student-life/athletics

Week 2 XC Training Schedule 7/15-721

We had an awesome showing for our first week of summer practices. A lot of new faces, which is very exciting to see! Our first week of summer training was pretty mellow, mainly to make sure everyone eases into their training for the season. In Week 2 we will start to add some light intensity to start getting our leg turnover primed and ready for the season. Please do your best to get your runs in on your own on the days we don’t meet or if you can’t make it to voluntary practices. If you are having trouble getting out of bed in the mornings to get to practice. Just remember that success in the Fall is forged in the Summer. You will not regret getting the work in with your teammates first thing in the morning, and it will pay off! See you all nest week!

Week 1 XC Summer Training Schedule

Here are the times and locations for the first week of voluntary practices. This week we will be focusing on running easy mileage and getting our legs back under us. We will also be focusing on getting our running drills dialed in for the season and establishing proper running form. If we start early we will be pros by the first day of practice 😉 It is also important to note that athletes should be running on their own on some of the days we don’t meet as a team. 5 days of running out of the week is ideal. I look forward to seeing everyone and getting the 2019 XC season under way!

Go Cougs!

Monday-7/8: 8AM @ Pine Nursery Park.

Wednesday-7/10: 8AM @ Drake Park.

Friday-7/12:8AM @ Riverbend Park.

2019 Mtn View XC Summer Training/ Important Dates

It’s that time already! Time to start building those Summer miles for success in the Fall. Summer training is a great opportunity to set yourself up well for the regular season while bonding with your teammates. It’s also an opportunity for us to do fun activities we don’t normally get to do once the season begins. Below are some important dates for the summer. For practice times and locations during the summer, please check the team website for weekly updates. https://mvhsxc.com/

7/8/19-Voluntary Practices Start – We will start meeting for voluntary practices on Monday July 8th. Every practice will be at 8 am at different locations. We will start with a Mon, Wed, Fri Schedule to start and will eventually move to 4 days a week as we get more mileage under our legs. We are starting a little later this year because I wanted to make sure we had a solid break between track/school and the start of XC training. It’s a long season and we want to be feeling good come October.

8/2-8/3-Cascade Lakes Relay Volunteering- For our team fundraiser this year we will be helping out at Cascade Lakes Relay. It will only be a 1 day event and should be fairly simple helping out at the exchange zones. We need to start getting a head count of all who can help. Please let me know if you will be able to help! Family members and friends are more than welcome to help out.

8/4-8/10-OSAA Moratorium Week- Since our fundraiser falls on the tail end of the official Moratorium week, we had it pushed back to 8/4-8/10. We will be off that week from all team functions. Athletes will run on their own that week.

8/12-8/14- Team XC Camp- Our team camp will be at Little Cultus Lake this year. A little bit of a change from years past but this still gives us the opportunity to do the Cultus Mountain run!

8/19- Official Practices Begin- All athletes need to have their sports physical and registration completed in order to practice.

Go Cougars!
