NKRC TRAINING

Our training program is designed to help every runner leave camp feeling stronger, smarter, and more excited about running.

All campers run with peers of similar fitness levels, guided by college athletes and coaches who dictate proper training pace and volume. Those in our high school program train twice a day, while those in our middle school program have the option of single training sessions. Any athlete recently returning from injury or cautiously building fitness can opt for low-impact cross training alternatives such as yoga classes and pool-running. All of our afternoon runs are designed with optional add-ons, giving all runners the opportunity to tailor their training to their current fitness and goals.

To complement physical training, we offer performance-oriented learning sessions each day. Campers hear from a daily guest speaker and choose from a variety of workshops held in our classrooms, gymnasiums, and fitness center. Topics include:

• Training physiology

• Strength and flexibility routines

• Goal setting

• Racing psychology

• Nutrition

• Gait analysis and form drills

• Team building

Whether you’re preparing for your first competitive season or defending your state title, our program is the perfect primer for the season ahead.
