-A running watch!   A Garmin-brand GPS watch is best, but also OK to just get a "basic" watch capable of taking splits, like these two I found on Amazon.com: LINK  LINK

-Running shorts (we will be passing out uniform tops, but everyone is expected to purchase their own "all black" shorts)

-A water bottle

-A great attitude and put in some thought about your GOALS for the upcoming season prior to Tahoe Running Camp and for sure by the first day of practice!

Let's get ready for 2018 MARIA CARRILLO CROSS COUNTRY!

...Are YOU ready for the 2018 MARIA CARRILLO CROSS COUNTRY (XC) SEASON? 

...Not sure what to expect with the MCHS XC Program, or just need some motivation to help ya get our there and get running?    ...Check out this LINK for a history of MCHS XC End of the Season Videos.

If you haven't taken that first step to JUST GET OUT THERE AND START RUNNING, you should JOIN OUR GROUP SUMMER RUNS!  ...We have been meeting 4 days a week (Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri) at 6PM and then again at 8:30 AM on Saturdays...

Here's a LINK to 10 weeks of our Community Summer Runs Schedule. 

...If you need more structure for training, here's a LINK to our Level 1 Summer Mileage Training/Ramp Schedule (Coach Greg has 3 other levels available, already published on our Team Facebook Page; if you're interested in other training programs/more details, just contact him) .

My hope is that EVERYONE has committed to a summer mileage ramp program and will be joining at least some of our our 10 weeks of Summer Runs between your Summer fun and vacations!    

The key to any Summer Training Program is:

CONSISTENCY: Show-up and stay committed; try to avoid gaps in your summer training!

PROGRESSION: Force yourself to go faster and/or longer each week; you'll see improvement!

There are a variety of Greg's summer mileage programs available (published on Facebook last month); if one of these doesn't fit your needs or you're new to running, just try this: Start with running even pace runs for 20-30 minutes, 3-4 times as week, after 2 weeks add a 40 minute run, then after 4 weeks, move your long run up to 50 minutes and hopefully after 5-6 weeks, you can run consistently, 4 days a week with your short run no less than 30 minutes and 2x/week longer runs of 50 minutes.   

Email greg.fogg@comcast.net or text (707) 291-2967 Greg if you need more guidance for a training routine that works best for you!

ARE YOU SIGNED UP FOR OUR TAHOE RUNNING CAMP?!  ...There's not much time left before we freeze the roster; NO RSVPs, you simply need to: 

1) Send a check to Greg for Camp Fees

2) Mail (or give to Greg) a complete Medical Release Form

3) Complete the ~9.3 mile time trial (on July 21st  8:30AM starting from Park Trail)

Lesley and Cristina; good times at Viking!

Coach Barry and "Dad" at Viking Opener

The last two weeks (week of 9/18 + week of 9/25) we've just been training and training and training!!!    Lots of Richardson hill runs/great workouts and although it was hard hopefully, everyone is feeling stronger!   ...We are entering the NBL competition phase of our season, but now is not the time to rest; now is the time to keep on pushing!!!

BOYS/GIRLS VARSITY TEAM DIV III STATE RANKINGS; POSITIONED TO PLACE [COMBINED] HIGHER THAN EVER BEFORE IN HISTORY OF MCHS XC PROGRAM!

-BOYS ranked 3rd [legit] and racing against #1 in State West Torrance at Clovis Invite this weekend!

-GIRLS ranked 2nd after running very fast at Woodbridge; assuming a few more teams will be moved ahead of us in the next week, expecting we're close to top 5 in state, with room to move up!

Just like Coach "Farmer" Russ, the team has big hopes for this year.    ...Right now, Russ is producing some of the biggest pumpkins he's ever had and like his pumpkins, our fitness grows each week, so let's see how far we can take this!   ...Check out this one that weighed in at over 1800 lbs!

PARENTS, ATHLETES, ALUMNI AND FANS:  Be sure to keep up with all other postings, pictures, etc... on our team Facebook Page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/423055447747018/?ref=group_header

ATHLETES!  ...Be sure to check out www.xcstats.com to track your improvement from all our race performances; here are a few examples/comparisons of some awesome improvement we're seeing:

Senior Sydnie Rivas: 2014-2016 has improved her Spring Lake 3.05 mile race pace from 7:07 to 6:11 and looking this season to go sub 6:00!   https://www.xcstats.com/career_course_report.php?runr_id=81862&cd_id=437

Senior Ben Lawson: 2014-2016 has improved his Spring Lake 3.05 mile race pace from 6:10 to 5:10 and looking this season to go sub 5:00!   https://www.xcstats.com/career_course_report.php?runr_id=81854&cd_id=437

Junior Sage Wu: In her first season, Sage is really improving!   ...With only 3 races, Sage has managed to improve her pace from 2 miles racing at 8:10 pace, now able to race 3.05 miles at 7:37 pace!   -Great job Sage!  https://www.xcstats.com/indiv_career_report.php?runr_id=139383

Freshman Nicole Morris: Aimee Armstrong ran the 3 mile course at Woodbridge '15 (her Freshman year it was a different course but still flat/3 miles) in 18:51 and rocked it this year in 17:16 (10th fastest all-time in the Redwood Empire for 3 miles); to give you an idea for how fast Nicole is right now, she just ran 18:18, which is :33 faster than Aimee's freshman time; now that's running in some very FAST company!
