Think some of the pre-race routines out there are...unique? Wait until you see how some of the state's top teams act in practices!
NCRunners is starting a new weekly series where we visit the practices of prominent programs across the state, film key parts of practice, and interview both the coach and some of the team's leaders. The "pilot" issue for this series will run this Thursday, and NCRunners reporters have lined up four more practice visits over the next two weeks. There will be at least one more round of 4-5 visits before the end of the season, with an emphasis on reaching at least one team in each classification. Each Thursday we will post one of these videos, giving you inside access to the practice routines and workouts of some of the most successful teams in the state!
The idea came from former MileStat webmaster and current MileSplit National Editor Brandon Miles, who visited practices of top Virginia programs in the preseason. Check out the example he set below. It will be hard to live up to that standard, especially since he often ran with the teams (no guarantees that any of our reporters are going that far). It amazes me that one man produced all these visits, but hopefully with our whole team on board we can reach the same level!
