Practice Location
All practices are planned to start/finish at Phoenix HS. In the event of a rare summertime indoor relocation due to smoke or heat, watch the team Facebook page for day-of announcements.
- Please note: students may use the gym for free over the summer, but they need to be registered at Planet Fitness; please be sure you do this before arriving there (click on the link, zip code is 97501, and be sure to select the south Medford location).
Please see our teams' Facebook page for team and alumni news, and photos dating back to 1964!
Nutrition and other health information The title says it all! There is some very good information here.
We have a non-running strengthening routine we incorporate into our daily practices, with different pieces/focuses on different days. Here are mp4 videos for some of them:
- (every Mon/Wed/Fri...) *Core Routine and *Pyramid Pushups
- (every Tue/Thu...) *4-sets-of-20 pushups and *4-minute plank
- (as time allows...) *Hip strengthening routine and *Walkovers
Our team has open practices over the summer, wherein we welcome anyone grades 6-12 to run with us. Email john.cornet@phoenix.k12.or.us if you'd like information.
