Designed for all CT cross country and middle/long distance athletes. Training takes place on varied terrain on and off campus, including local roads, neighborhoods, and trails. Coaches will review safety expectations, and athletes are expected to use good judgment while running in the community. Practices include steady runs, intervals, tempo work, speed development, and strength sessions. Athletes should bring a water bottle, weather‑appropriate gear, and a simple digital wristwatch daily.
