The 2024 Cross Country season is here!
Wednesday is an easy day!
Most of the country has had state meets (California is the latest, with November 30). Many young cross-country runners are preparing for the NIKE NXN and the 45th FootLocker, Presented by HOKA, Cross Country Championships.
We are taking some ideas from the great Australian coach, Pat Clohessy, who coached Rob De Castella and Steve Moneghetti.
Cross country is a real key to developing as a great distance runner!
For most of the high schoolers competing in NXN and FootLocker, there is another six weeks of training and racing ahead.

Check your shoes and make sure that your training shoes are ready for 8-9 more weeks of training. (Most shoes make it 12 weeks of training)
If not, go to a local running store and find one or two good training shoes.
