“The XCTS paid off. Our boys' and girls' teams collectively set over 50 personal record times throughout the season.”
Amelia R Prados
De La Salle High School, Louisiana
“We won our first Regional title since 1989 and finished 4th at the state meet which was our best State Finish since 1979. No coincidence this was our first year training under the XCTS system.”
Mike Louden
West Liberty-Salem High School, Ohio
“The XCTS has been a game changer for my program. It allows every athlete at any level to achieve their best and stay healthy. Our results are some of the best we have seen in our program in 20 years.”
Sarah Schwendinger
Des Moines Roosevelt High School, Iowa
Most high school cross country coaches have the same frustrations —
“I’m overwhelmed organizing all the training groups, so I end up giving everyone the same workout.
I know the freshmen need different assignments, but I don’t have time to write those workouts and make sure the varsity kids are getting in their mileage.”
Here's what's included
Everything you need to move your high school cross country program forward today
24 Weeks of Training
24-week training plans for all levels of athletes, from kids who are already running some serious mileage to athletes who are just coming out for the team and will be in the “no prior training” group.
Strength and Mobility Training
Post-run strength and mobility training, which can be done anywhere. You’ll get access to videos of every exercises, and your athletes can get these videos on their phone.Â
Plans for All of Your Athletes
Daily plans for athletes ranging from "no prior training" up to athletes that will run 90+ min long runs. Kids stay injury-free with these progressive plans.
Priority Email Access
Priority email access with me throughout the year. I’m here to coach you so you can coach your athletes in the best, most thoughtful way possible. I'll be with you along the way!
Warm-up Routines
A detailed video that teaches you how to teach the warm-up to your athletes. This is more than simply leg swings and the lunge matrix - it's the best warm-up I can offer you.
Five Live Classes
Five live classes with me where I’ll answer your questions. All the classes are recorded, and the audio of each one is recorded so you can listen to them on your phone like you would a podcast.
- Daily workouts for all levels of athletes — so you can be sure they’ll run PRs all season.
- Summer workouts and in-season workouts — yes, they’re different—the right workouts will ensure that your athletes will be peaking when it counts.
- Video library of post-run strength and mobility routines — based on 20+ years of experience and research which means you don’t have to cobble together a random plan from YouTube videos.
- Over a dozen daily training plans — with the right amount of running and the right amount of post-run work. (Including plans for the younger kids who’ve never run before, which will free you up from planning the training for every group and allow you to give attention to every athlete on your team.)
- Dynamic warm-up you can use every day — before workouts, easy days, and races—to have kids feeling powerful and ready to run fast.
- Live classes throughout the season — where you’ll get your questions answered while also learning from the hundreds of fellow coaches using the system.
- Priority email access with me — you’ll always have a guide helping you along the way.
Bonus! Lifetime access and yearly updates —
Enroll once and you’ll be able to tweak your high school cross country training every season.

Hi [Insert Your Admin Here],


I'd like to purchase the XC Training System for our upcoming high school cross country season.


This is a coaching development program that teaches a system for keeping our kids healthy and helping us run our fastest at the end of the season.
Getting this program will help our program in the following ways:
- I’ll get daily workouts for every level of runner on our team. This will be extremely helpful in managing all the levels of runners we have on the team. I don’t want to shortchange the new kids, but I also need to focus on the varsity kids if we’re going to have a good season.
- I’ll get all the strength and mobility workouts we need to be doing at the end of practice, something all the best programs in the country are doing. The coaches in this program have almost no injuries when their teams do these routines at the end of practice.
- I’ll get a system of workouts that will take us from the summer through the last meet of the year. The coaches using this program have said this is one of the biggest reasons their teams are running well at the end of the season.
- I get access to live classes throughout the season and I get priority email access to the coach behind the program. Other coaches have said this is one of the most significant benefits of the program.
After I consume the materials, I'd be happy to share my takeaways with you and start refining our training based on what I learn.

The XC Training System costs $495. They can take a PO for purchase, or we can use a card.
