The Fairbanks Summer Mileage Clubs are off and running. Starting June 1 and going up to August 31, 2023 high school athletes have set out to run 300 miles and middle school athletes 200 miles.
Weekly training plans will begin to roll out with Week 1: Base Training for the week of June 5-11, dropping tomorrow evening.
Training Logs need to be maintained. Athletes can use a calendar, a dated piece of paper, a printed out copy of the Weekly Training Plan, any type of work out tracking watch/phone or a Strava account. Strava accounts are recommended, they’re easy to use and connect runners and coaches seamlessly.
Club T-Shirts will be awarded on September 5th at the FarmBanks Panthers XC Invitational.
Finally, it’s probably a good time to look at getting new running shoes. Columbus Running Company has always been the preferred shoe store for Coach Van Winkle.
CRC will take great care of you. Try on as many pairs of shoes as you need to and take the shoes for a quick test run. I’m not sure if they have any light up shoes but you should have fun getting the right running shoes for your feet. When you check out with your shoes let the cashier know that you run for Fairbanks CC and you will get a discount.
