Running with Rocco: Weeks of November 4th & November 11th

Attention all Cross Country & Track and Field Athletes:

Our off-season running club, Running with Rocco (with special guest appearances by Coaches Drabik and D'Andrea), will start this week. Before we go over the schedule, here are a few things about our running club:

  • Any athlete is able to join, it's not just for cross country runners.
  • It's for distance runners and sprinters NOT involved in a winter sport...once your winter sports seasons are over you can join us.
  • We're training to help transition to the upcoming Track & Field season.
  • All cross country runners should take 3 weeks off their training...if you've been running since the end of the season, at some point you're going to need to take a break. Some of you have been training since the season ended (and maybe ran road races, like the Shoremen Shuffle last week), and some of you may want to continue to run as you prepare for a Thanksgiving Turkey Trot. Others may not have been running and it's time for you to start again. Whenever you take your time off, make sure you do, and then join us again. That may be different times for different runners, and dependent on your winter sports schedules. 
  • You do not need to attend every session, but make sure to run 3-4 days a week, and make sure not to over-do it. We're just jogging, and not accruing a lot of miles.
  • If you can't make a session, I'm including running times below. 
  • Running on your own, on a treadmill, or on an elliptical are acceptable ways to work out this off-season.
