Summer Conditioning Begins on Monday, June 15 - NO Camp Yet

Time to see this team get back on the course!

We've patiently waited to get through the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are now at the point where we can get outside and get back to work. The start of our conditioning work that we will put in this summer begins on Monday, June 15. Because we have yet to hear about the parameters for safety which will become the expectations for Kaneland student athletes, we are encouraging you to do this work on your own, or in very small groups. Remember to keep your physical distance, and do NOT show up for a run with a peer if you are feeling under the weather.

Every boy will need to fill out his own page on the summer training log, found in the upper right portion of our blog. There are tabs at the bottom which reflect the names of the coaches and athletes. Please find your tab, and then complete the sheet EVERY DAY! Those runners who are keeping up with this work will be able to advance to our speed changing workouts, which we hope to do in person, starting in July. We want to see every runner documenting the data for both miles logged running (hard miles) and those logged swimming or biking for 15 minutes straight (soft miles). Each week, we are looking for both hard and soft miles to be completed by our team members.

If you have any questions about your training log, or about your running work, please contact your coach. Parents should do the same. Putting in the work during the summer allows for many of the smiles we see in the photo above, during the fall season. Be positive and put your heart into your efforts. Your brothers are getting after it, focused on the mission ahead. Be a difference maker, and remain hungry for a spot higher up on our depth chart.

Every man will make a difference.
