Why off season training:  It helps to prepare you for the season and most importantly helps you stay injury free.  Running is a sport that if you are not physically prepared when the season starts the possibility of injury increases dramatically.  If you are trying to improve your ability from past seasons you must train regularly over the off season. Off season training means building a mileage base, don't go too crazy with the workouts and burn yourself out.You will work hard enough during the season, trust me. 

This is my current XC website, there you will find all current schedules and information! 

Tips for Off Season Running:

• Check your running shoes, if they seem worn down or it has been over a year since you have had them I recommend getting a new pair.
• HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE staying hydrated is the easiest thing a runner can do and has the best results on your body. You are losing A LOT of water when you run, you need to replace that. Runners need to drink more than the daily recommended amount of water to stay hydrated.
• Don’t overdo it, the goal is to get into shape before the season begins to avoid injury. We are not expecting fast times during summer training.
