How long have you been running and how did you get started?
I have been running for seven years. I started with a running club at my middle school that ran for most of the spring and did one or two local road races. South Bristol was unfortunately too small to have a track or cross country team.
What has your summer training consisted of? How much mileage you putting in?
My summer training has been going a lot better than last summer. It started with 30 miles per week in mid-June and has built steadily to 60 miles now in the end of August. Admittedly some weeks dipped below the goal because of work or other unforeseen circumstances. On top of running I've also been doing a lot of core/hip stability and strength work.
What are your goals for the upcoming season?
My main goals for the upcoming season are to win the state team title with Lincoln and break 16:00.
What is your favorite workout?
Favorites workout is mile repeats on Old County Road. It's a very hilly dirt road.
What did you learn from last xc season that will help you improve in 2019?
Last season I learned how to properly structure the season and peak at the right time. I hope this season I can hone in on my training and be even stronger come states.
When you are not running what is your favorite thing to do?
When I'm not running I nap.
Do you have any pre-race rituals or routines?
Before every race our guys team circles up and hums loudly.
Now that You're a senior how is the college search going? You have a top 5?
College search is going well, I can say for sure my top two schools are RPI and Carnegie Mellon.
