The Work Shows

Here is what the work looks like.

On Oct 17, our Hogg girls swept the zone. The 7th grade and 8th grade girls teams both won first place in their divisions, and an 8th grade girl took the overall win. Behind every result is a runner who kept showing up, did the work when it was hard, and trusted a plan.

Why One More Push

Because the best part is what it builds in them.

State is the finish line we picked. The real win is the runner your child becomes while chasing it.

1

A goal worth chasing

A real race on a real date. Setting a big goal, going after it, and owning the result builds a competitor for life.

2

A team that lifts them

They train together and celebrate together. Belonging makes hard work feel good.

3

Steady, not rushed

Three days a week with rest days built in. Progress that is steady and sustainable, not a panic.

4

A clear plan

Tempo Monday. Intervals Wednesday. Hills Saturday. Every session has a purpose, and your runner knows why.

Your Three Weeks

Three days a week. Each one has a job.

Hard days are spaced with rest days between, so your runner arrives at State sharp and fresh.

Monday

A Straight Answer On Value

Here is everything that is included.

Private coaching normally runs $100 a session. A coach out there running the workout with your runner, not watching from the sideline, is priced the same way. Here is what the final push adds up to.

Is Your Runner Ready?

This is optional, and that is the point.

Choose it if your runner is:

  • Healthy and recovering well after district
  • Excited to chase State, not just going along
  • Willing to put in three days a week for three weeks
No pressure. If your runner would rather rest up and race, that is a great choice too. Current Abba runners keep Monday and Saturday at no extra charge, and Wednesday intervals are there for anyone who wants more. For parents: every session is coached in person at age-appropriate loads, and if anything changes how your runner moves, we stop and talk to you.
Beyond The Finish Line

The race lasts minutes. The habits last a lifetime.

Goal setting. Discipline. Work ethic. Self-improvement. That is what we are really training, and it carries into every season, every classroom and every challenge. State is just the finish line we picked together.
