Off-season Training: Weeks of Aug. 2 & 9

Mileage for the last two weeks of off-season summer training should be the highest amount of any two week period during the summer. We're also adding a tempo run each week these next two weeks. Training pace for most runs can stay relatively easy at a conversational pace, except that one day during the week pick up the pace (1:00 per mile faster) over the last 20 minutes or so of your run.

The Drury Athletic Department has scheduled a meeting of all student athletes at 4:00 pm on Monday August 17. Our first cross country team meeting is scheduled for right after that on Monday, August 17, at 5:00 pm. Physicals/medical paperwork must be completed by Monday, August 17, in order to practice. Any freshman or junior who has not yet obtained a physical will need to schedule a physical with Dr. Woods at the training room on August 17 to get that done.
