Butler Cross Country 2022 – Summer conditioning workouts – June 13th – August 14th - 2022

ORGANIZED SUMMER XC CONDITIONING BEGINS
WHEN: JUNE 13TH
WHERE: INTERMEDIATE HIGH SCHOOL (Next to the Flag Pole)
TIME: 6:00-8:00PM

First and foremost, thank you for showing an interest in the Butler School District Cross Country Program.

The potential for both the Girls and Boys teams is extremely high. WE need to CONTINUE to prepare ourselves for the upcoming season. I HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE ON THE 13th – I'm so excited about the potential of our teams – hoping you are too! CONSISTENCY in all things is key to being the best you can be!!!

Your summer conditioning should begin immediately if you haven't been running. Run 3 days this week and 4
days next week flowing into May 31st . For those that have continued to train vigorously through April & May – I would like you to take a brief break (one week/May 16th to May 22nd) before resuming Regular Summer conditioning, that would begin Monday, May 23rd, 2021. (A little break will do a world of good and limit burnout & peaking early).

On the succeeding pages you will find the following Summer Conditioning Guidelines and Directions:

• Workout schedules for all experience levels. Follow the one you feel is appropriate for you.
• Warm-up, Cool-down, Pacing Code Chart, Core Work, and Sandbag exercises.
• Sandbag Workout descriptions and routines (Only for those that have Sandbags will begin when the staff feels it is appropriate during Summer Conditioning).

A few things to keep in mind during this time:

Remember – CONSISTENCY in all things is the key to achieving your goals!
Be consistent in Training-get out and run, nutrition-eat right, & sleep-get 8-10 hours a night-it's where
your body rebuilds itself even stronger than before.

• The following workout schedules are a GUIDE to help you prepare – if you can not do everything, do as much as you can! - Consistency
• Make working out each day a priority - Know that, in completing the workouts you help YOURSELF & the TEAM be the best you & we can be.

One last point – As I'm not in the school buildings daily - Access to recruiting new athletes to XC is extremely difficult – please give this to anyone you think would like to run or has the ability to run and encourage them to come out. You can have them join REMIND and I can take it from there. Or just bring them to conditioning. From Quantity comes Quality!!!
