Summer Sessions
Welcome! Want to keep running this summer or even try something new? Lake Norman Lynx will be offering two summer sessions for track and cross country athletes! Session 1 will be June 3 - July 3; Session 2 will be July 15 - Aug 14. You can sign up for one or both, depending on your summer schedule, and drop-ins will also be accepted after registering with the club. Practices will be held on Tuesdays (7pm, w/ an 8am option for distance runners), Thursdays (7pm), and Saturdays (8:30am) at Spartan Park in Huntersville unless otherwise directed.
Our focus for the summer will be as follows:
- Sprints: We will target our sprint training primarily on getting faster. Top end speed is the key to any sprint and hurdle race. This will be accomplished through a combination of sprints, mobility, and strength work. Additionally, sprinters with a technical/field event like hurdles or jumps will have time to work on those after the sprint portion of the workout is complete.
- Distance: With the fall cross country season approaching, we can have some flexibility with our distance group. If you want to compete in some summer track meets and continue to work on your track times, we can do that. If you are finished with track and ready to tackle summer training for XC, we can do that as well. We follow a very individualized approach to training at Lynx TC, so we can make it work for you. We can also work with your summer training if your schools have something going on, just talk to Coach Karin about it and we'll work it out! She is a school XC coach too, so she is already planning ahead to the XC season as well. But summer is a GREAT time to get those base miles in for XC PRs in the fall, so if you want a fun group to run with, this is it!
Summer Track Meets: There are plenty of competitive opportunities in the summer for athletes that are interested. Between AAU, USATF, and other all-comers meets we can find meets that fit your schedule when/if you're ready. We will work with each individual athlete on a summer schedule that makes the most sense.
