My Squad consists of athletes who are Primary School kids, Secondary School teenagers, one young adult attending Uni (not training much) and a handful of adults who compete with Aths Vic; so everyone within the Squad will compete in upcoming State XC Championships, this year they will all be run at Bundoora Park.
Starting with the All School Secondary's, Aths Vic U20 & Open Champs (National Trials) then the Primary School Champs and finishing with the Vic Little Aths I thought it would be a good idea to have a familiarity training run on the approximate course.
We meet in the car park at 9:30am, a quick chat about the course and then we jogged the 2k course, stopping a couple of times to point out aspects of the course that I thought we very important and some strategies that I wanted them to use. Some gentle stretches, change of shoes for some and then two hard fast laps with a short break in between, finished with a 1.5k cool down.
Worth while session, hard work and for many a good opportunity to visit the course for only the first or second time.
