The 2024 Cross Country season is here!

You are now in a difficult part of the season. Everyone is fit; the difference is racing fitness.

Let me explain.

Those who can make one right move after another and have something at the end of the race, those athletes

will be successful.

The final California state meet is over.Three of the FootLocker regionals are over.

Cross Country is the real key to developing as a distance runner.

Most high schoolers competing at NXN and FootLocker still have six weeks of training and racing ahead of them.

The Midwest, Southeast, and East regions were held for FootLocker on November 30, 2024.

NXN Regionals are all done, NXN Nationals is on December 7th.

West FootLocker regions on December 7th, 2024 and FL citizens on December 14th, 2024.

Are you fit?

You’ll keep it moderate and have a few weeks before the big things.

Check your shoes and make sure your training shoes
