Cross-country training

We have been having a lot of variety in our preparation for the school cross-country. Beep tests, hill training, fast/slow speed work, hill training, extended course work, hill training, distance work, oh, and did I mention hill training!
Today we worked on the field in a circuit. All this training is paying off!

We've been busy training for the school cross-country next Tuesday. Here is a link to "Map My Run" A site where you can mark out your training run and measure how far you've run!

Look up your starting location by entering it into the QUICK START box in the left-hand column and press or click Enter.

Once your address is found, take your mouse and start clicking on the map following your route. You'll see that the ROUTE INFO box will automatically update the total distance of your route as you go.

If you make a mistake, click the Undo button in the DRAW IT toolbar on the upper right-hand side of your map to undo the last point.

To start again and clear the whole map, click the Clear All button.
