Next Week

🏕️ Camp is only 4 WEEKS AWAY!

Let's have as many athletes as possible at these sessions!

• Tuesday 7/7 – Lifting at 7:00 AM with group run to follow
• Thursday 7/9 – Lifting at 7:00 AM with group run to follow
• Saturday 7/11 – 8:00 AM – Summer Runs begin at Szalay's

We are hoping for a great turnout as we continue building our aerobic base. Strong teams are built through consistent work, and the strongest teams are running together—especially in the valley for their long runs!

🎁 Summer Challenge

Athletes who finish the summer with 90% or higher workout completion will earn an exclusive summer training t-shirt!

🔑 CONSISTENCY IS KEY!!

Keep stacking those miles! Every run matters. The work you do now will determine what happens this fall.

Let's Have a Great Week!

Stay consistent. Trust the process. Keep stacking good days together.

🏃 Summer Training

Training is progressing well, and if we stay consistent, athletes should be able to build up to 35–60 miles per week.

Building a strong aerobic base doesn't happen overnight—it comes from consistently showing up and putting in the work day after day.

Our Training Landing Page is here and should help you get started.

🏃 Summer Training Plans

I won't be coming to you individually to ask if you're ready—you need to take the initiative and come to me.

If you want to be part of what we're building this fall, reach out and ask for a training plan, and we'll get you started.

The athletes and teams that improve the most are the ones who take ownership of their training. Looking forward to hearing from you! Seniors will be planning some group runs for the next two weeks.

🏋️ Lifting with Coach Rod

Coach Rod will be offering optional summer lifting sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00 AM in the Copley High School Weight Room.

These sessions are a great opportunity to build strength, stay accountable, and train alongside your teammates throughout the summer.

📱 Join the Copley Cross Country Strava Club

We also have a Copley Cross Country Strava Club where athletes can share runs, encourage teammates, and stay connected throughout the summer and season.

Since Strava is a social media platform, please make sure you have your parents' permission before creating an account or joining the club.

The club is completely optional, but it can be a great way to stay motivated and see what your teammates are doing.
