[Birds chirping]
[MUSIC]
Alright.
Inside the room.
[Multiple speakers]
[Laughter]
I really think we need to go and spend some time
up here tonight on the Karaoke.
What do you think?
Let's get it dude.
I drove by it last night about 8:30,
He was sitting out there by himself.
Did you ask him?
No, he was in the middle of a song.
I'm not going be like, "Hey can we come back tomorrow?"
[MUSIC]
[Car doors closing]
A couple of hours north of Oxford,
the Ole Miss cross country team plans to hit the ground running
at their annual team camp.
[MUSIC]
Fresh legs, and some fresh faces keeps spirits high
as the Rebels venture into the miles of trails waiting to be explored.
If you've never run on this road before, we've been coming here for three years.
And this is probably the closest option for a good run, we just now found it.
Only because a recruit told me,
yeah there's a road down there, I've been there before.
So here we are.
[MUSIC]
We're going to and get ready to do core in the park.
So get your towel if you rode with Walt.
[MUSIC]
Let's go, let's go.
Alright, let's start with a plank.
[MUSIC]
We'll take a stop at the store on the way to the kayaks, okay?
We're stopping at the outpost.
[MUSIC]
We're at the Outpost on the way to kayaking down the river.
Getting some ice cream, getting some snacks.
So the air Manahan.
It's actually really hard work.
We have some kind of like scissors that can cut pennies actually.
Everyone has a pair.
He didn't bring it with him.
So now I'm the only one who looks like an idiot.
But, yeah.
They're cool.
And while some made waves with their fashion choices,
others made a splash in a different way.
[MUSIC]
Just the calves are a bit tight.
I need to get them loosened up for the big long run tomorrow.
It's very rare you have a runner that just runs and doesn't need anything.
Those are few and far between, but there are some out there.
But, I don't know they all like to complain about a little something.
Little pains and nicks here and there.
Everybody's calves are always going to be tight running on hills and rocks.
Just all a part in the maintenance of a distance runner.
It hurts, ow.
What do you think you do?
Running versus like rolling your knots out and stuff, what percent?
I said 60/40.
Yeah 60/40
I'd say 70/30
70/30
65/35.
So let's take actual rolling time into account
and let's say maybe 80/20.
Aright, give us more than that.
Well, you don't realize how much you run every day.
When you're running as fast and as hard and as long as they do,
stuff's going to happen to the body.
And that's what I'm here for, I guess.
As the runners upstairs treated their aching muscles,
the rest of the Rebels made the most of their free time
with some games and relaxation.
[Cheering and clapping]
But it wasn't long until the trials of the last run of camp were upon them.
[MUSIC]
We're going to go about 75 minutes.
The biggest run in Oxford.
Camp long run, it's pretty iconic.
Big guys go two hours, but yeah big long runs.
Alright, hey bring it in let's go.
This should be a relaxed run on the way out,
pick it up on the way back type of long run.
Feel the excitement?
Yeah, as long as it's not pulling your knee
you're good, you're not running weird.
No.
Yeah just take it easy on the hills and stuff especially.
Alright.
Especially on the downhills go slow.
43.
Alright.
What do you want 85 for –
45.
[MUSIC]
I want to watch people at the top of the hill, see how they look coming up.
This is the hardest part of the run
so we'll find out the most by watching people here.
If you can get yourself to focus on running hard for an hour and a half,
like running hard for 30 minutes in a race seems a lot easier.
[MUSIC]
Good work fellas.
Whelp, our job here is done.
[MUSIC]
The hill is kind of tough on the way over,
besides that, it's one of my favorite routes.
Always the best.
I couldn't ask for anything else.
It's something you talk about all year and when you get to it
it goes by so fast, which is really a bummer
but you definitely make memories the whole year.
A good number of new people,
so always good to get them like familiar with all the returners
and just having a weekend getaway that focused on training
and sort of setting the tone for the season is always important.
So it's been good, one of our better camps for sure.
