Gillespie High School Cross Country would like to invite Gillespie High School students to join one of their fitness models.

The “Multi-Sport Athlete” Model is designed to make you faster and more powerful, while improving endurance in other sports. This model only meets two or three times per week over summer and fall season. It is coordinated and adaptable to other sport schedules. There will be no crazy long runs, and its focus is on speed and speed endurance. This model is directly usable and beneficial to other sports.

The “Beginner” Model is designed to introduce the participant to the benefits of running and self-improvement. No experience in running is necessary. The program is completely modified for each individual participants needs and goals.

The “Full Distance Runner” Model is designed to pursue excellence in distance running. Daily runs and some doubles in the summer and fall season. It is an opportunity to apply oneself to pursue mastery. Focus will be on crazy long runs, speed, and speed endurance.

Gillespie High School Cross Country will create a plan that works best each participant. Contact Coach Weber at [email protected] or (217)313-1550 for any questions. Summer Informational Meeting Wednesday, May 29, 2024 at 6 p.m. at Coal County Sports Complex (Little Dog).
