Winter Training 2026–27 — One Athlete
Winter Training 2026–27
$225 for one athlete
For middle- and high-school runners training for 800m and longer.
Winter registration includes a written December plan with Final Surge access, followed by eight coached weeks January 4–February 28, 2027.
Recovery and December training
After their final fall race, we recommend athletes take 10 days to three weeks off from running to recover, enjoy the holiday season and recharge for spring track. Even athletes who are excited to keep their momentum going should take at least 10 days off.
Once they’ve had that break, December is a chance to gradually rebuild an easy running base, with a written plan and Final Surge access available through winter registration. We won’t meet for group practices in December. We’ll return to coached group training in January, ready to build toward the spring season together.
In January and February, we plan 3–4 practices per week. Monday is confirmed as a regular practice day; the other days will be determined as the schedule comes together. Weekday practices generally run 3:30–5:30 p.m., adjusted with daylight. Locations and practice times will be shared on SportsYou.
Free November training
Join us after the CHSAA season ends through November 21, 2026. November training is free whether or not you register for winter. Weekday practices start at 3:30 p.m. and finish around 5:00–5:15 p.m. A two-mile time trial is planned during November 8–14; the exact day is forthcoming. NXR Southwest on November 21 is optional, with a community-race opportunity for middle school runners.
Optional races and separate costs
Various winter race opportunities, including Colorado indoor events in January and February, are optional. Details are forthcoming. Race entries, travel and UCCS admission are separate. CHSAA's official first track practice is March 1, 2027.
