Welcome back distance runners for CVCHS Cross Country 2025. Here is where I'll be posting the weekly training log for all to see. This way you'll know what to expect as you attend training every day.
Let's get ready for a successful season on the trails and courses. We have a strong returning group with high goals set. Pre-season voluntary conditioning begins Monday, July 7th. We will meet Monday - Friday, 9:00 in the senior lot unless another location is pre-determined for some unique off-site training options. Pre-season conditioning is open for ANYONE to attend - family members, friends, neighbor's, alumni, I think you get it.

MONDAY, JULY 7th - INTRODUCTION'S followed by a nice 2-5 mile training run in our backyard of NEWHALL PARK. Always options for those not ready to run that distance. Strength & Core after run.
TUESDAY, JULY 8th - DOWNTOWN options. Strength & Core.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 9th - BOATWRIGHT options. Strength & Core.
THURSDAY, JULY 10th - NEWHALL PARK options. Strength & Core.
FRIDAY, JULY 11th - DOWNTOWN options. Strength & Core.
SATURDAY or SUNDAY, JULY 12th/13th - WELR (WeekEnd Long Run) for returning runners who have been building miles already this summer. Should be approx. 20% of your weekly mile total, easy pacing.
Coach Kevin
Dedicate, commit, and most of all, remember we are family. Show up, put it the work, have fun, race hard.

"If there is one thing I know, you have to run a lot, then run some more, then run some more. If you don't love it, you're not going to be able to last long enough to get good enough."

“Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must move faster than the lion or it will not survive.
