Why the Pirate Mileage Challenge?
Steve Prefontaine (Pre), one of the greatest runners in American history, University of Oregon National Champion, 1972 Olympian and elite distance runner for the Oregon Track Club started out as a good, but not great high school runner. His freshman year he ran 5:01 in the mile. His sophomore year in high school he failed to qualify for his favorite event (the 2 mile). His high school coach noted this was the year that Pre took it upon himself to train hard over the summer. His cross country team had exclusive mileage clubs for those who logged their mileage over the off season, Named after the school mascot, it was the Pirate 1000 mi Club. Following this dedication to running, his junior year he went undefeated in cross country and won the state title. This was a monumental stepping stone for his career which turned into multiple NCAA titles, American records and an Olympic performance.
We took this concept and modified it a bit, with hopes that you can have your own breakthrough performances this fall!
