310 Running hosted its first warm weather training camp in Phoenix, Arizona during the 2018 March Break.
Eleven athletes, three coaches & a chaperone took advantage of the perfect Arizona weather to start the transition from indoor to outdoor track & field. With exclusive use of a local high school track, the team was able to get in some solid mid-distance, hurdle & high jump work. The track & field training was augmented with some challenging hikes over some spectacular terrain including climbs up Camelback Mountain & Piestewa Peak & a descent into the Grand Canyon.
Sharing a beautiful 4800 sq. ft. home in downtown Phoenix provided a unique opportunity for the team to bond at the track, on the trails, in the kitchen & by the pool.
Special thanks to Monique Della Penna (aka Momma Monique) who went way beyond expectation taking care of the team, Coach Jamie Tarling who kept the house under control & in chaos all at the same time & Coach Nicole Skimming who taught our hurdlers that you must get over the hurdle…every time…or else.
Details for the 2019 Arizona training camp will be available in August.
