We hope you all had an enjoyable and restful Thanksgiving holiday. In this post we are outlining everything you need to know about the next few months of running. Please read this in its entirety and reach out to coaches about any questions you have.
Running Plan
After the season is over we take a 2 week break from running. As a team that trains year round, we take our rest as serious as our running. These two weeks are essential for avoiding mental and physical burnout, and feeling rejuvenated to start the winter track season.
For those who stopped running at NXR you can resume training on Monday, December 4th. For those who ran through the Turkey Trot you'd restart on the 8th.
If you feel like you need more than 2 weeks, please communicate with a coach so we can plan accordingly.
We will not be meeting formally as a group for the month of December. However, if you are planning on doing winter track you should be running on your own. We have posted all of December training, and captains will organize after school runs. Coaches will be around informally some days to run with the team as well.
If you are playing a winter sport but want to continue on a modified training schedule, please reach out to a coach and we'll work with you on an individual plan.
December Training
Here's the doc with all of the training for the month of December: December Training Doc
There's only one group for training, but the daily range of mileage is pretty big. If you end up being less consistent over this month, don't jump back in the big runs right away. Work yourself back up gradually with the lower end of the mileage ranges.
Winter Training
Be on the lookout for an email with all of the winter training/indoor track information in the next week. The Sabercat Track Club website will also have all of the information and more.
NXR Singlets
You have two options for these singlets.
- Option #1: Return the singlet to Coach Lyons
- Option #2: Purchase the singlet. We will be using this singlet for the indoor track season, any other non CV sponsored races, and possibly NXR next year. Cost is $30 (cash or check - Sabercat Track Club) and can be given to Coach Lyons.

Uniform Return
Items that MUST be turned in to avoid a charge being placed on your account:
- Red Long Sleeve Shirt
- Red Castle View race singlet
- Black Warm-up pants
- Castle View Cross Country Nike Backpack
- Black BOA shorts (only for those who checked out team shorts)
For those who know for sure they will run XC next year, you may keep your entire uniform. HOWEVER, YOU MUST NOTIFY COACH LYONS.
