For those of you who intend to run competitively this year, Coach Olinger has put together daily running plan to help you prepare for the season. Please contact him for a recommended schedule.
Details: We offer a two-track program that will better allow our runners to achieve their and your goals: a Physical Fitness group and a Competitive group. Please inform the coaches which route you and your student would like to pursue.
Physical Fitness Group: Focuses on basic running technique, overall fitness and endurance. It is appropriate for ages 7+ and all interest levels. No expectation for running/practice outside of our weekly meetings, although such activities will be strongly encouraged. Activities and workout intensity will vary from week to week, as we seek to keep the children engaged. For participating weekly in the fitness club you don’t need to be a KACHEA member.
Competitive Group: Focuses on running technique, speed, endurance, form, pacing and overall health. This is appropriate for middle school and high school students who are willing to commit to a schedule outside of and in addition to our weekly meetings. No previous experience is needed, no minimum mile time, etc., only a willingness to work hard and to run for God’s glory. Should we have enough interest, we would like to field both a men’s and women’s cross country teams for the fall XC (Cross Country) season, with the goal of competing in the cross country events in the fall.
NOTE: In order to compete in the Cross Country season, you must be a KACHEA member.
We participate in many events during the summer sponsored by the State of Franklin Track Club if you are interested in seeing what they have to offer please see www.runtricities.org For more information, contact the coaches below directly and get on the email list for locations of practices.
