byLarry EderThis is one of my favorite workouts. Running three miles on the track, sprint straights and jog turns helps you change gears, which is what cross country is all about! This workout gets tougher the more you are in shape.
And after your run, go and watch the women’s steeplechase and see the historic performances by Emma Coburn and Courtney Frerichs! Amazing.
