Running with Rocco & Peepers: Weeks of January 17th & 23rd

Attention all Cross Country & Track and Field Athletes:

Our off-season running club, Running with Rocco, 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. 
  • 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. 
  • If Rocco and/or Peepers can't make a session, we'll text that out to everyone
  • Running on your own, on a treadmill, or on an elliptical are acceptable ways to work out this off-season.

Also make sure to arrange for transportation home at 3:50-4 p.m. during each Learwood session. If you have any further questions, please contact either Coach Rocco or Coach Peepers!
