XC Week #5

This week we will have our first team time trial of the season! This will allow everyone to gauge where they are at fitness wise and also tap into that competitive edge. Be sure to prep appropriately so you can run at your best on Tuesday!

Bend Parks and Rec. is now requiring masks for sports teams practicing in parks. Please try and bring a face covering for when we meet as a group before and after our runs/workouts. Once we start the workout the masks can come off. I know it’s another thing to add to the list, but if it keeps us practicing I’ll take it.

Let’s keep bringing a positive attitude and willingness to work hard to practices. This is a great group and I’m excited to see everyone crush it in the time trial on Tuesday! Check out this week’s schedule below. 

Monday 8/3- 30 minutes easy with 4-6 strides afterwards.
