WOLVERINES​​

WHAT DO ALL THESE #s MEAN & HOW USEFUL ARE THEY?

> Solid indicator of fitness for experienced runners.

> Great chance for new runners to try to dial in tempo paced effort.

> Helpful to begin grouping runners into smaller training groups and assigning paces for workouts.

> We all want to run fast, but keep in mind that places in races matters more than times in XC.

> 15 guys this year faster than Caleb "the grinder" Guinter last year.... our #5 almost all season!

​

THINGS TO CONSIDER?

> Relationship between results and # of practices attended so far.

> Change in '23 1st dog loop vs 1st one in '22 & previous years

> For new runners & freshmen, how do your result match up with what older runners at your age?

> Do you feel like you ran a tempo effort?  Could you have run another loop at the same pace?

> Team time trial in 3 weeks!  If you haven't been running consistently, now is the time to get with it.  #ITWIT!
