All athletes are expected to attend at least 1 group run per week and to run on their own. Parents/guardians are to sign off that the total running times have been completed.

At home running expectations (weekly total)

• 6 and under:  20 minutes (~ 2-3 k)
• 7-8: 28 minutes (~ 3-4 k)
• 9-11: 35 minutes (~4.5-6 k)
• 12-13: 45 minutes (~6-8 k)
• 14 and over: 55 minutes (~8-10 k)

These times represent MINIMUMS.

All 13 and under athletes are encouraged to do NO MORE than twice the minimum standard during weekly ‘at home’ runs.

Parents and athletes are asked to record only total RUNNING time – not total session time.

1 running minute = 1 minute of actual running
