Winter Training Program details
What is Seek Athletics?
Seek Athletics is a professionally run, elite community of distance runners. Through the administration of remote distance coaching, we aim to develop personal relationships with our athletes to help them grow both in and outside of running.
How does the Winter Training Program work?
Over the course of 14-18 weeks, our Winter Training Program athletes are given all of the resources needed to grow and succeed in the sport of running. Athletes will be given customized and individualized training through their own personal training log shared between themself and the coach. Winter Training is targeted to help athletes bridge the gap between their fall cross country season and spring track season with emphasis on being prepared for when it matters the most.
Here at Seek Athletics we do not believe in limiting an athlete’s contact and we understand that each athlete prefers different levels of communication. We offer unlimited contact between the athlete and coach to discuss training and other running related questions via text and phone. Topics discussed can range from training questions, mental performance advice, college recruiting assistance, and everything in between.
When does the Winter Training Program Start?
We will utilize a flexible start method for the winter training program. We will connect with each athlete who signs up as their school XC season comes to an end. Athletes can continue working with their high school coach through unattached races like NXR or Foot Locker, or transition to us in preparation for these races. If you are an in-season athlete, we'll work together straight through.
Regardless of when you race your final competition for your high school, we want to be involved as soon as your season ends so we can help determine the appropriate amount of time for a break/reset and collaborate on your return to training. You do not need to have your break figured out before starting with us—we will help you navigate that process. The program will end on an athlete’s first day of high school spring track practice.
What’s included in the Winter Training Program?
-
Full customized training from the day your cross country season ends to the day your organized track season begins (Typically 14-18 weeks).
We build every athlete's program around their age, training history, feedback, and future goals — developing them for the long run while setting them up to succeed right now.
-
Unlimited communication with our coaches. Calls, texts, and through our custom training log system.
While other programs limit communication, we see it as the backbone of ours. Staying in constant touch lets us build consistent relationships with our athletes — they get more information, feel more connected, and we can adapt their training to them as individuals.
-
Running-specific lifting, core, drills, mobility, and injury-prevention circuits — programmed into the training. Built with leading physical therapists and running professionals. It's all in-house, designed around running — not a generic “athlete” program that works against it.
-
The basics on how to fuel as an elite endurance athlete. References to running specific nutritionists.
Fueling is one of the most underrated parts of distance running, and it makes a massive difference. We cover topics like how to fuel to support training and recovery, pre-, during-, and post-training fueling, plus information regarding iron and ferritin testing.
-
Indoor race planning and guidance, goal setting, and emphasis on our world class mental performance standards.
The winter block usually comes with a few racing opportunities, and we help athletes find the right ones. We treat indoor racing as a way to sharpen up — it's preparation for the main event, the outdoor season.
-
Group Zoom calls on mental performance, recovery, and guests like professional athletes — we usually meet once a month, often more depending on what the team needs. It's a chance for athletes to connect with the Seek Athletics community.
-
College recruiting guidance for athletes and parents — from a team with hundreds of NCAA connections, with high-level recruiting from both sides. Personalized guidance built on genuine relationships with college programs — something no agency script can offer.
We'll get on a call with you anytime to talk recruiting — walk you through exactly how the process works, share specific strategies including what to say in emails to coaches, and keep checking in along the way.
-
For Milwaukee-area athletes** — coach-led and athlete-led training alongside peers chasing the same goals. In winter we train at the 443m indoor oval at the Pettit Ice Center — group sessions, some led by coaches and some by athletes. Being there lets the best train with the best.
