Cross Country

Sign up for an XC Remind account for important updates, for both parents and student-athletes! 


or 
Text @nhsxc22 to 81010

Also, we use the Band app to communicate proprietary training plans and a master scheduling calendar! Look for the link on our Remind posts (or search Band groups for "NHSXC") to join. Practice schedule details will no longer be posted on this website.

CROSS COUNTRY - EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

As long as you want to run, have fun and be part of a supportive community, you are welcome to join our team.  We are one of the few teams that does not require a tryout.


"OFF" SEASON

Running is a year-round sport, so even when XC is not in season, there are plenty of opportunities to run: indoor and outdoor track, charity road races, Summer Fun Runs, with your friends, by yourself, etc.  More info on Summer Training will be posted on Band in late spring...

HONORABLE MENTION ALL AMERICAN

Congrats to Mike Bohlke for placing 24th in the country in the Eastbay/Footlocker NATIONAL Championship in San Diego.  Awesome!!

Mondays - Tempo

Tuesdays - Easy

Wednesdays - either speed intervals or hill intervals (alternate)

Thursdays & Fridays - Easy

Saturdays - Long Run

Sundays - recovery


If you run 3 days/week, you should avoid injuries by building a "base"

By then running 4-6 days/week, you can improve your speed


Note: 1-2 E day(s) each week can be substituted for an extra Rest day

Also, Sat and Sun can be swapped if necessary (due to schedule or weather)
