The Summer Warrior Program is our summer training challenge designed to help athletes build endurance, stay consistent, and arrive at the start of the cross country season prepared to compete. Throughout the summer, athletes will track their running and workouts using Strava. All participants should join the Maynard Jackson Cross Country group on Strava to log their progress. Athletes who successfully complete the Summer Warrior program will receive a Summer Warrior t-shirt and will earn the opportunity to travel with the team to an overnight meet during the season.
The Summer Warrior + Practice Schedule for the season can be found here.
Start Date: Monday, June 1 End Date: Sunday, August 9
Practices Times: Monday - Thursday from 9 AM - 10:30 AM. Meet at the Maynard Jackson track.
A lot of our runners attend the second week of Wingfoot Running Camp which runs from July 19 - 24. Sign Up Here

MILEAGE TARGET:
Each student is given a specific mileage target for the summer that they have to hit to qualify. The mileage is based off how many years the student has been running, what their spring training looked like, their injury history, and what their peak mileage was last season. You can find your individualize mileage target here.
STRENGTH TRAINING:
In addition to the summer running, you also have to complete strength training. You log this on STRAVA under strength training. There are 2 times of strength training that need to be completed: core and legs.
Core = 150 minutes but you cannot do more than 10 minutes in a day
Leg strength training = 40 sessions of 2 ½ minutes but you cannot do more than 15 minutes in a day
RULES FOR SUMMER RUNNING:
1. Have to start at your Weekly Mileage
2. Cannot increase your weekly mileage by more than 10% (rounding up to the nearest mile is okay)
3. If you do not make your mileage mark for the week, you have to repeat it (ex – if you are supposed to run 20 miles for the week, but only get 18 miles, you cannot move up to 22 miles the next week but instead have to repeat 20 miles)
4. The longest run of your week cannot be more than 30% of your weekly targeted milage (ex – if you are running 20 miles for the week, you cannot run more than 6 miles for a given run)
