XC12K Post Race Report

Another successful Foothills XC12K is in the books with two course records. Highschooler, Barak Watson, set a men’s record of 46:46 and Cori Mooney set the women’s record with a 53:30. A cool starting temp of 58 degrees and clear skies made this year’s race especially enjoyable.

Interval Progression Program

matt.newbill — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 20:25:36 +0000

Here is a quick article to take some of the guesswork out of a training plan.

Also it details that intervals we will be doing at dry-land.

Key Workout / Interval Progression Article

Dry-land starts June 4th - 5:45pm

matt.newbill — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 22:32:36 +0000

June 4, 2008 - 5:45 pm to 6:45 pm

Fort Boise Sessions begin in June and go through fall until the snow flies. Led by Joe Jensen and other local elite skiers, these are fun sessions that are becoming infamous for the best workout in town. All levels are welcome.

We will start easy(relative term) for the first few weeks and by August we will be doing killer circuits and ski-walking intervals up the Trail of Tears.

If you want to get a jump on your training now, start with a few simple plyometrics and introduce some strength through push-ups, sit-ups and lunges.

Wear running shoes and bring water!

Meeting Place: Fort Boise Park, east parking lot off Mountain Cove Road.
