The 2024 Cross Country season is here!
You’re in a tough part of the season now. Everyone’s fit, the difference is race fit.
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.
Most of the country has had state meetings (California is the latest, on November 30).
runners prepare for the NIKE NXN and 45th FootLocker Presented by HOKA Cross Country Championships.
We take some ideas from the great Australian trainer Pat Clohessy, who trained Rob De Castella and Steve Moneghetti.
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.
Wednesday is easy!
Especially late in the season.
Are you fit?
You will keep it moderate and you have a few weeks before the big things.

Check your shoes and make sure your training shoes

If not, go to a local running store and find a pair or two of good training shoes.
