Tennessee Endurance Summer Cross Country

  Welcome to the Tennessee Endurance Summer Cross Country Program!

Are you ready to hit the ground running this fall? The Tennessee Endurance Summer Cross Country Base Building Program is designed to help student-athletes prepare for a highly successful fall season.

Whether you are a dedicated cross country runner chasing a new personal record, or a fall soccer player looking to build unstoppable stamina before your season begins, this program will help you build the fitness and confidence you need to succeed.

  Why Run With Us?

When you join Tennessee Endurance, you are joining a community dedicated to growth, education, and athletic excellence:

• Elite Coaching: Our training schedules are expertly written by State Champion and All-American experienced coaches who know exactly what it takes to succeed at the highest levels.

• A Winning Community: Spend your summer training alongside driven, like-minded student-athletes who will push you to be your best.

  A Day in the Life: Our Average Practice

We maximize our mornings to beat the heat and get the most out of every athlete. While workouts will vary, a typical summer practice looks like this:

• 7:30 AM – 7:45 AM: Dynamic range of motion and pre-run strength work.

• 7:45 AM – 8:00 AM: "Topic of the Day" discussion and personalized coaching tips.

• 8:00 AM – 8:40 AM: The Daily Run! (Duration ranges from 30 to 40 minutes depending on each athlete's current fitness level).

• 8:40 AM – 8:50 AM: Post-run turnover (speed) work and targeted strength training.

• 8:50 AM – 9:00 AM: Recovery focus with foam rolling and deep stretching.

  How We Build Your Fitness

 

"Summer miles bring fall smiles!"
 

At the start of the summer, our primary focus is base building. We safely and gradually establish your aerobic foundation. As the summer progresses and fitness improves, we will:

 

• Slowly advance our weekly mileage.

• Introduce key cross country endurance-builder workouts.

• Cap off our weeks with challenging and rewarding Long Run Fridays.

  More Than Just Running

Building a great athlete goes beyond logging miles. Throughout the summer program, we will host 1-on-1 Goal Setting Sessions with each athlete to map out their vision for the fall.

Additionally, we invite key influential speakers from our local community to come out and talk to the team about a variety of valuable topics, helping our runners grow as athletes, students, and leaders.

Come build your base with Tennessee Endurance this summer. We can't wait to see you on the trails!

You must register online prior to your first practice (no exceptions).

  Can't Make It in Person? Join Our Virtual Summer Training!

We get it—summers are busy! Between family vacations, travel, and shifting schedules, it isn't always possible to make it to in-person morning practices.

But distance shouldn't stop you from building your base. If you are a student-athlete or family unable to attend our physical practices, Tennessee Endurance is proud to offer a fully supported 7-Week Online Training Program. Get the exact same championship-level experience and coaching, but with the flexibility to run on your own schedule, wherever your summer takes you!

  What’s Included in the Virtual Program?

For just $125 for the entire summer, virtual athletes receive the same high-quality training as our in-person group, with dedicated remote support to keep you accountable and on track:

• The "Same Experience" Schedules: You will receive the exact same base-building workouts, weekly mileage progressions, and Long Run Friday plans as our in-person team, delivered directly to your app or inbox.

• Unmatched Coach Access: You are never training alone! You will have the ability to call, text, or email your coach daily or weekly. Got a question about a workout? Need to adjust a run because of a vacation? Your coach is just a text away.

• Weekly Check-Ins: We will connect with you weekly to review your progress, talk through the "Topic of the Week," and make sure you are feeling confident and healthy.

• Complete Flexibility: Knock out your daily run and strength work at the time and location that works best for you and your family.
