Zephyrs Middle School Running Club
“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.”
Napoleon Hill
The mission statement of the Zephyrs program is to build a foundation mentally and physically for middle school-age runners. The program was designed as preseason training for middle school cross country specifically. We are passionate about the philosophy and very passionate that we teach these kids to train properly and advocate for themselves as high school and adult runners.
Join the Zephyrs Summer Middle School Running Club this summer and work on a wide variety of skills and knowledge including:
Speed work, Technique, Strength, Teamwork, Pacing, Volume building, Nutrition, Sleep,
and everything else the running world has to offer a young athlete...
Dates: Monday, June 12th - Friday, August 11th
The club meets 3 days a week - Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7:30am – 9:00am. Locations will be different daily:
Mondays the club will meet at Lippold Park.
Wednesdays the club will meet at Lundahl Middle School.
Fridays the club will meet at Veteran Acres.
Athletes will receive a Zephyrs Middle School Running Club t-shirt. The athletes will also be given the opportunity to enter Patriot Run in Crystal Lake with their teammates for an extra fee. This is not required.
Meet Your Coaches!
Coach Megan (Left)
Hi! My name is Megan Sloan and this will be my 3rd year coaching the Zephyrs Summer Running Club alongside Coach Brenda. I love helping kids find the same passion for running that I found at their age. Running can teach more life lessons than most people realize, and being apart of that process is truly wonderful. I believe that the runners heart knows no age and when it comes time to lace up your shoes, I'll be right by their side!
Coach Brenda (Right)
Hi! My name is Brenda Napholz and this will be my 18th year coaching the Zephyrs Summer Running Club. I love everything about the Zephyr Philosophy and watching the young athletes incorporate running into building resilience, character, and goal setting. At the end of the day, I really just love the athletes because they are individually amazing and running is a great way to challenge, find yourself, and build confidence.
