Trail Running & High Altitude Training
- High altitude and novel trail running put unique stresses on the body that have favorable effects to distance running performance
- Runners may run anywhere between 15 and 60 minutes during an afternoon run (excluding long runs), depending on age, experience level, and their particular training volume described by their home-coach
- Each morning run features a 15 minute shakeout, followed by a tried-and-tested routine of core, flexibility, strides, and icing
- In the afternoon we load up Big Bertha and the Team Prep USA Vans and head to the world class trails and dirt roads of the Gunnison Valley (RMXC) and the Sunshine State (WDP)
- Workouts performed during an RMXC camp include tempo runs, long runs, and our infamous Tempo-to-Hill workout, with a strong emphasis on recovery and nutrition
- Camp features athletes aged 11 through high school senior and all experience levels - there is always a group to run with
- The the trails and dirt roads are appropriate in difficulty for all camp ages and experience levels
Who's this camp for?Any middle to long distance runner (roughly 400m events & up) seeking a breakout cross-country or track season.
