The Philosophy
The directors and staff of the NE Ohio CC Camp share the
philosophy that lasting success in distance running must come from within the
athlete. Regardless of the enthusiasm that coaches and parents share for the
runner, the level of success will ultimately depend upon the runner's
dedication and determination. The camp is thereby committed to instilling an
attitude of enjoyment in each runner. For only when the runner learns a love of
the sport, will they develop a work ethic allowing them to establish
challenging goals and put forth the necessary training to accomplish these
goals. The camp is geared toward the junior high and high school runner that
has a positive attitude towards self improvement through training designed to
be strenuous yet rewarding. The training runs at the camp will be broken into
low, intermediate and upper mileages. Each runner should be in adequate
condition to run a minimum of 6 miles each day, with the intermediate group
covering an average of 8 miles each day and the upper group 10-12 miles.
