Now that the no-contact period is over we'll start meeting informally several times a week for "Pre-Season" training.
Here is a link that'll have the latest info.
Our first dual meets don't start until October but our invitational season starts the first week of September.
As Alberto Salazar says the most important part of your running program is consistency ... basically you need to get the miles in.
Whatever type of running you do will be better than no running at all but you'll be better-off if you get in some quality work over this period. If you just go out and "jog" a couple of miles a few times a week, you'll basically get sweaty but do little toward getting in shape. For this reason we encourage you to participate in these practices as often as possible.
"Official" practice starts the first day of school. You won't be able to participate until you are cleared by the ISF. This means you need to get your physical and all associated forms turned-in. More info about this on the ISF site.
Here's an excellent breakdown of the various types of training runs by Hal Higdon.

Meets
There are three categories of Cross Country meets, the dual meets (including the League Championship) that everyone will compete in, The CIF Championships -State meet combo that only the top 7 boys and girls are eligible for, and the Invitational meets that we'll take a partial squad to.
This season all our dual meets are on Tuesdays at Morley Field as follows
Oct 5th with Lincoln
Oct 12th with Christian
Oct 19th with Clairemont
Oct 26th with Crawford
Nov 2nd with Madison
Nov 9th Central League Finals
For a list of all the events we may attend CLICK HERE.
The CIF Finals are on Saturday, Nov 20th at Morley.
The State Meet is on Saturday, Nov 27th at Fresno.
Most, but not all, of the Invitational meet are prior to the start of the dual meet season. More on those later.

------
For those new to Cross Country or our program, a scoring team is composed of 7 runners. Meets with another school (called dual meets) are scored by adding up the finish places of the first 5 runners from each team with the other two finishers taking-up places that "push back" the score of the opposing team. Because no team in our league is large enough to field multiple teams, everyone runs at the same time and only the top 7 runners from each team are counted in the score. Tie scores are broken by the finish position of the 6th finisher from each team. The invites, when there is a so-called "varsity race," are scored the same way but schools are normally limited to 7 runners. Usually there will also be a "JV" race and often various grade-level races. These races generally don't have a seven runner limit. This is a good time to point-out a big difference between dual meets and Invites. A team can be unbeatable in dual meets with three really good runners. However if they can't back them up with good 4th and 5th runners they can be dismal at the invites. This is because a 1-2-3 finish in a dual meet mathematically locks the meet so the other team can't win even if they put all 7 of their runners between the 3rd and 4th runners of the team that went 1-2-3. In that case the score would be 1+2+3+11+12 = 29 for the team that had the top three finishers and 4+5+6+7+8 = 30 for the other team (their 9th and 10th finishers don't count in the score). In bigger meets there are many more runners who will finish in front of the slower runners so the 1-2-3 rule doesn't work. At invites, the league finals, the CIF finals and the State meet the 4th and 5th runners have more impact on the team score than do the front-runners. I bring this up mainly to make the point that Cross Country much more of a team sport than track and field. Sure it has it's individual sport aspects like track but you can't advance to the state meet as a team in track like you can in Cross Country. Bill and I want all of our runners to reach their potential whether they're the #1 runner or the last JV runner. We never cut anyone for their running ability and everyone with a positive attitude gets to compete.
