Welcome to Christmas Break. Since we won't be seeing each other for 2 1/2 weeks, I thought I'd post some guidelines for your training during the break. You guys have been great this year....some of the best attitudes, most dedication, and all around fun to coach athletes I've had the pleasure of working with. Let's take it to the next level now.
Winter Break Running Guidelines
I've roughed out two schedules for when we return from break. The goal is to get you to the first race of the season aerobically strong and moderately race fit. We'll use the first couple of low key invitationals to gauge our fitness and set goals and training paces for the harder training and racing to come in late April and May.
Mid Distance Pre Season, 400-1600 Focus
And for you Miler/2 Miler types
Distance Pre Season
The total mileage, as well as the volume and speed of repetitions, will vary based on ability level. Sample weeks are geared for the top runners in each group. You should all have a pretty good idea of what your mileage should be now, based on where you were at during the cross country season.
HAPPY RUNNING!
