SUMMER MILES

Summer Season

Summer miles is a 6-week program we host in the summer to ensure our runners are building their running endurance in preparation for the fall-season.   Endurance runs are the foundation of the running pyramid.  During fall season we continue to work on endurance but also incorporate other running techniques such as speed and strength; but in summer it's all about endurance.  

I look forward to logging the miles with your runners this summer!
