[Shawn Siemers @Siemers_XC_TF]

The hardest shift from XC to track?
Convincing runners that less work can make them faster.

They see fewer miles and think you’ve gone soft.
You see sharper paces and know they’re finally about to learn what FAST feels like.

XC is about surviving the grind.
Track is about weaponizing it.

We don’t drop volume to rest.
We drop volume to raise the ceiling.

Less dirt.
More danger.
