Winter Training 2026–27

Free November training

After the CHSAA season through November 21, 2026

Weekday practices start at 3:30 p.m. and finish around 5:00–5:15 p.m. These practices are free. No winter purchase is required.

• Club two-mile time trial during November 8–14; exact day to be announced.
• Optional NXR Southwest on November 21, with a community 5K opportunity for middle school runners. Race registration and travel are separate.

Optional winter program

• December 2026: a written training plan and Final Surge access after the recovery break. No group practices.
• January 4–February 28, 2027: eight coached weeks, with 3–4 practices per week.

After their final fall race, we recommend athletes take 10 days to three weeks off from running to recover, enjoy the holidays and recharge for spring. Even athletes eager to keep going should take at least 10 days off.

After that break, December is a chance to gradually return to easy running with the written plan and Final Surge access. We won’t meet for group practices in December.

In January and February, Monday is confirmed as a regular practice day; the other days are forthcoming. Weekday practices generally run 3:30–5:30 p.m., with daylight adjustments. Locations and practice times will be shared on SportsYou.

Race entries, travel and UCCS admission are separate. Optional Colorado indoor race opportunities in January and February are forthcoming. CHSAA’s official first track practice is March 1, 2027.
