ANKENY SPORTS BOOSTER CLUB
CROSS COUNTRY/RUNNERS CLUB CAMP

Ankeny High School Girls' Cross Country and Track and Field coach Sarah Goplen and her staff offer a summer running and cross country camp for boys and girls entering grades 7-12 this fall. We will learn about and practice progressive training, proper nutrition and health habits, general shorter run with running drills and flexibility exercises on Tuesdays, a tempo run on Wednesdays, and a relaxed run with lifting exercises on Thursdays. We will tailor the length of the run to the individual's current running shape. Session 2 will continue to build on Session 1. However, an individual does not need to sign up for session 1 in order to fully participate in Session 2.

Participants should wear a light colored t-shirt, running shorts, running shoes, and a stopwatch. Participants should also bring a water bottle every night to stay properly hydrated after completing each run. Each participant will receive an Ankeny Hawks t-shirt for the miles they ran in the summer.
