I have never been to winged foot so I will not pass judgement on it but, I think the running school is a great camp.

I will be attending for my second year.

basically run 2x a day.there are seminars(college running,nutrition,weights,water running,core/strength,and running mechanics).theres a canteen,where you can buy junk food and milk shakes and some shirts.theres a pool and lake you can go into.you have to pass the lake test to swim in it and a pool test for the pool.if you pass you get a wrist band which means you can go into the deep end.if yuo dont have it,you are supposed to stay in the shallow.there are also 2 dances(1st and second to last day i believe) and a talent show.the very first day is like 3 miles or so.we also go to woodstock and see the monument.and there is a big hill everyone talks about but i dont think i should spoil it for you.on the last day,you can run with your team or whatever basically.and there are 2 dining halls.and its possible the ladies will nicely ask for your boxers but theyll return it to you.

Thanks, I just looked on the website.

and its possible the ladies will nicely ask for your boxers but theyll return it to you

HAha...your going to have to elaborate on that

[tmfcmike]

boxer contest.they are supposed to try to get as many as possible i dont really know.i dont think the guys did the opposite thing.

[samdee]

This will possibly be the greatest Running School in the camps 35 year history. Al has assembled the best Counselor/coaching staff he has ever had and added a free coaches clinic on Saturday as well as the usual Running Education Programs. Chris Lear of Running with the Buffalo's and Marcus O'Sullivan are additional guest speakers. If you are still looking for a great camp experience then the choice is simple, Go to The Running School.

[i_love_xc]

This is my first time going and I'm mucho excited. But only one of my teammates is coming with me as opposed to last year when there were four or five guys who went. I still think it'll be a great experience :D.

Yeah tmfcmike pretty much summed it up. Some seminars are optional but if you go and pay attention you learn a lot. The medical staff is excellent too and can help with anything you need. There is a lot of down time too. You shouldnt find McKay (the hill tmfc is talking about) too hard tho RamRunner17 because around where we live (I go to JJEF - who on carmel are you?) its pretty hilly so we are fairly used to running hills. Depending on what bunk you are in you will probably run 3 or 5 miles every afternoon. Bring food to snack on. Steal cereal from breakfast. If you have any questions you can PM me or ask your councelors once you get there. On the last day you can run with your team if you want. Are you the only one going from Carmel?

[RamRunner17]

1)My name is Tom Jennings, Im going to be a sophmore
2) No, im not the only one. We got a few kids going

[mhs-xc]

Cabin 11-we had all the benches
Actually by the end of the week cabin 5 had a stock pile of quite a few benches under our cabin. Was Don McFarlin (sp?) in cabin 11, if so tht must have been the coolest cabin.

At one point we had all of the benches. We had two that were in our cabin all week. Then our cabin got raided when we were at class.

And Don(his nickname was Tupac) was our councler, and yes, he did kick ass

Also, we pwnd Mckay, we went up 5 times, brreaking the camp record. We actually tied the record on the first friday

Also tmfcmike, who were you? Quite a few kids wanted to run with our cabin(because we were just that cool)

Oh by the way...my camp nickname was broomstick(we all got nicknames)

[i_love_xc]

Cabin 5 got all the bitties. Everybody was asking about our awesome "beaver catching" contest. Just remember Attack Attack Attack, and make sure the beavers dont have teeth.

So what was everyone's favorite memories, mine was prolly a tie between Marcus O'Sullivan and Chris Lear.

[HawksXC84]

just out of curiousity how can nys kids go to this camp? our xc season is 2 weeks underway at that point


Last year there were 475ish campers and about 350 were from NYS. many teams are there with their coaches and the camp will give notes to those who need proof of so many days of practice pre season.

i'm going for my first year. so i dont know if i'm supposed to bring racers. my old ones are crappy and don't fit well and im buying a new pair for the season. i do have a pair of lightweight trainers tho. should i just bring my light weight trainers or just buy racers b4 camp?

lightweight trainers. although you might be able to get away with racers if they sorta look like regular trainers. but really.............out of sight,out of mind,you shouldnt get bitched at for wearing racers.what kind of racers do you have/might get?

[ilovewalking]

im not sure my coach works at a running store and he usually picks out a pair of shoes that he thinks will fit us due to the way we run so i have know idea what ide be getting. But i have these which should be fine right

[tmfcmike]

yea those are good flats.do you train in those often?i know for me,id wears flats for the afternoon run since its shorter.do you train in flats?where are you from again?

[the_youthful_cane]

yea those are good flats.do you train in those often?i know for me,id wears flats for the afternoon run since its shorter.do you train in flats?where are you from again?

northport i think

edit: you wont need racers mabey like a lightweight trainer and another pair for long runs and as a backup

you can also buy a pair at the store there but i would only use that as a desperate in need i have no shoes option

[ilovewalking]

yeah im from northport and my names mike lopizzo. i train in brooks axiom 2's. i only use the flats for like a tempo run on the track. evan bloomberg convinced a couple kids on my team to go this year. one more question.
i run pretty much every day with a kid on my team. the kid has been muchhhh faster then me in the past so it would seem like we wont end up in the same bunk, but we run together everyday soo we're about at the same level at the moment. would i be able to change bunks or groups when i get there if im not with him?

yeha u can change bunks, try and do it as soon as you get there. If there isn't room or no one can switch with you, u just sleep in one and then run in another. I did that for a few days when i was there.

i wouldnt bring racers IMO. The trainers are just fine. Although you might want to bring two trainers if u have them because one day in the AM we will prob get stuc in the rain and you don't want to wear the same shoes for the PM run.

oooo i am getting so pyschedd

[spacemountain]

[I_Run_09]

[tmfcmike]

IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WROTE DOWN ON THE APPLICATION(YOUR TIMES,AND MILEAGE EXPECTED) BUT YEAH CABINS GO FROM 1 TO WHATEVER.1 WOULD BE YOUR FASTER GUYS/GIRLS(NO ITS NOT COED :p) AND IT WORKS DOWN FROM THERE.WHAT ARE YOUR TIMES/SUMMER MILEAGE?

[bigbadbob]

what time is everyone getting there at?

im taking the bus tommorow morning. i have no idea what time though. the pickup is in the same spot where we get picked up for states. i think dont really know.

[spacemountain]

4:37 9:59 16:23 5k nsic 5k during xc 16:27 miles this summer about 400-450.

[bigbadbob]

4:37 9:59 16:23 5k nsic 5k during xc 16:27 miles this summer about 400-450.

they do the cabin sorting really dumb. for some reason fast kids get into slow cabins and slow kids in the fast ones. makes no sense. i think its bacasue more than half the kids that go to the camp lie about there times when they wright them done. U should probaly get into cabin 2 based on time. or mabey 1 depending on how fast the other kids are at the camp. but its really anoying how everyone puts down fake times and goals for there information.
