Camas XC Summer Training

Week 8: Student-Led Routine

This week begins the new August rhythm: student-led morning runs at Heritage and supervised optional strength sessions at Camas High School.

Big Picture for Week 8

Overall, athletes should aim for roughly 90% of maximum season weekly mileage. This is still a strong training week, but slightly below the peak from Week 7.

What does “90% of maximum season weekly mileage” mean?

All 10:00 AM student-led running practices are at Heritage. Monday and Thursday 4:00 PM strength sessions are at Camas High School.
