NEW LONDON
Cross Country Athletes & Parents:
Here's our weekly update:
Here's our weekly update:
- Continue to eat healthy, drink plenty of water, and stock up on rest! Our hard workouts will end this week. It’s time to rest, we are beginning to taper. For this last week, avoid all soda, eat very healthy foods, drink plenty of water, get a LOT of sleep (middle schoolers need to average 9 hours 15 minutes of sleep a night), and STRETCH after practice, on Sunday, and before you go to bed each night. It’s not what you do the day before a race, it matters what you do the WEEK before a race!

Track & Field Conditioning: Week #2 (2/12-2/15)
This is our last week of conditioning:
Next week (starting Tuesday, February 20th) we will be starting our MANDATORY PRACTICES for all distance runners. We'll be taking attendance and our we'll begin time trials to help us get ready for the competition season.
A few notes about mandatory practices:
- A physical must be turned in to the Learwood Office this week so you can participate next week
- You must have a medical form completed and turned into Coach Rocco
- If you participated in cross country I've already got your medical form
- I'll be checking forms this week and will alert athletes of their status before next week
- If you don't have these forms completed and turned in, you cannot practice starting Tuesday, February 20th
- If you can't participate next week, I'll send out alternate workouts via the blog/text so you can keep up with your training
- Practice is mandatory, so if you have a conflict and/or are absent from school, you must email Coach Rocco at rob.rocco@alcsoh.org
