Another week of running is done and gone, while another week starts here is this week’s mileage with strides:
If you have questions feel free to get in contact with me. Those in groups B & C we are starting your first workout with a mild tempo. Its a bit longer than you may have been used to such as the 4×4 but always go with a bit on the conservative side with your pace.
^The above is a link to most of your paces. It’s okay to be 10-15 seconds slower to be on the safe side and honestly, unless you’ve been running for at least 4 weeks then you need to be running a tad slower after taking your 2-week break. Again use your best judgment. Also, those on their second week or more of running should start doing core and HIIT workouts every day minus the long run and the recovery day. Those workouts can be found here on the workouts schedule page of the website. Jack feel free to use group A to start and we can evaluate how you feel by next week whether you bump up to group B or not. A reminder for those of you in groups B and C that tempo pace is the pace you would sustain running for an hour. Also, DON’T forget your strides. For those of you curious about the HIIT runs, we will not be doing those until the first week of official practice which is in February, I believe.
ALSO, for warmups, I’m not asking you to warm up for your runs right now that you do on your own, EXCEPT for the speed workouts I give you. Please do your warmup drills etc. on those days so we don’t get injured. Hopefully, that is all for now. If I need to add anything I’ll add it later on this post with an edit disclaimer. Merry Christmas everyone and hope you have a great week!
OH!!!!! I’ve also updated the races page for those that want to get int some races pre-season. I highly recommend everyone run at least 1 or 2 of these. Its a good way especially for those younger athletes to start getting experience and getting a jumpstart on their speed.
