N.C. State Men's team training

What does the NCSU/UM football game have to do you the question asked?

how can a team with so much high school talent not finish in the top 5 every year? sounds like either a bunch of head cases or a bad coach.

Since they hired a drug cheat as their strenght coach, they should be banned!

who's the drug cheat and what are you basing that on?

not being a defensive smart ass, just interested if there is any validity to this accusation.

Are you talking about CJ? I've just been hired as the running back coach for the foosball team, because of my running back stature and they told me I could also handle strenght training since I have Ken Patera type stregth.

CJ Hunter has nothing to do with the cross country or track and field program at NC State. He works with the football team.

well it is definitely not the coach so it must be a bunch of head cases...

The State men do LCR's (Long continuous runs) and high mileage. That is what their coach (Geiger) told us at their running camp this summer.

thanks n.c. state, can u elaborate??

They are hillbillies with no teeth..everytime a touchdown is scored against them they throw beer bottles at opposing players....and scream like babies...address that before we move onto druggies

First of all, the Maryland/NC State FB game has nothing to do with the cross country program, nor does CJ Hunter. The distance training at NC State is guided by legendary coach Rollie Geiger and he caters his training around his athletes. Not everyone does very high mileage, but his cross country workouts are considered some of the best. He has a good mix of long intervals, hills, and things to turnover your legs at the end of the season.

If I say it has something to do with xcountry then dammit it does..address the bottle throwing at football games...did C.J. and the xcountry team induce or incite the toothless fans to throw bottles..??

i know little to nothing about their program, but they have grabbed nearly every great Ohio runner from the past four years and haven't done much. they have several state champs and footlocker finalists. I hope to seem them improve and do Ohio proud.

Dhem skiny boyz wit x cuntry on der baks told us to frow dem bottles at dem turtles

I am not from nc state. I am a high school runner that went to a running camp sponsered by their program and got to know some of their runner ok...They do a lot of mileage. 85 to 100. Maybe more, I don't know. It is always at a continually fast pace too. There always pushing themselves. They do a medium distance run on Wednesday and a long run on the weekend. Geiger said once that they talk casually on a 10 mile run at 5:30 pace. Thats all I know. I hope I didn't get anything wrong..........

The key to thier training is having fun, but still staying focused. They train hard and party hard. They know how to throw good party, but they also know how to run a good race.

Of course, the only team from the ACC To lose tonite to the Big 10 is ....The North Carolina State Wolfpack....tHOSE TOOTHLESS bottle throwin rednecks must be pissed tonite...or maybe they are just used to it

Ohio runners have not done anything at NC State???? I would have to disagree. Here is a look at some of their Ohio runners;

Laurie Henes; NCAA National Champion, Member of a World Championship team

Bob Henes; 8 time All American

Katie Sabino; 4 time All American

Andy Smith; All American and ran 8:35 in the steeple last year at US Nationals. Unbelievable talent on the track.

Wes Smith; just entered his freshman year so we'll have to wait and see, but my prediction is he'll be a several time All American

Allen Bader; All ACC in XC this year

Just to name a few.

if a bunch of yankees are going to stomp around on ncsu's logo and taunt a bunch of toothless rednecks then they deserve to get a shower of bottles.
