FALL SESSIONS
The fall session at Orange Crush Track Club transitions you from summer’s focus on recovery and base building to a pre-preseason training phase. This prepares you for the upcoming California winter competition season. We’ll introduce more track-specific work, including:
- Pre-season level drills: These drills will hone your running technique and prepare you for the more demanding workouts of the winter season.
- Conditioning specifically designed for track events: We’ll tailor conditioning exercises to enhance the specific demands of your chosen track event, building the stamina and explosiveness you’ll need to excel.
By participating in the fall session, you’ll be laying the groundwork for a successful winter competition season. You’ll enter the winter program with a strong foundation of strength, endurance, and refined running mechanics, putting you in a prime position to achieve your competitive goals.
WINTER SESSIONS
The winter session at Orange Crush Track Club is where we refine your skills and prepare you to dominate the upcoming competition season. Our focus here is on pre-season refinement.

- Block starts: We’ll help you explode out of the starting blocks with explosive power and perfect form.
- Drive phase: Master the powerful initial push-off that propels you forward.
