The hardest shift from XC to track?
Convincing runners that less work can make them faster.
They see fewer miles and think you’ve gone soft.
You see sharper paces and know they’re finally about to learn what FAST feels like.
XC is about surviving the grind.
Track is about weaponizing it.
We don’t drop volume to rest.
We drop volume to raise the ceiling.
Less dirt.
More danger.

This morning we ran our last tempo before Regionals.
You’d expect big speeches, fire, and “all the way to State” energy.
Nope.
It was quiet. Focused. All business.
3×1-mile @10k pace with 2' recovery.
Goals: hit your time, stay relaxed, share the lead, run by feel.
They nailed it.
Even splits. Smooth rhythm. Calm faces.
That’s the kind of confidence I trust—
not the kind built on hype,
but the kind built on evidence.
👉 Takeaway:
Confidence doesn’t come from “we can do this.”
It comes from we just did.
