800m Time Trial Results & President's Day weekend Training

Results of our first 800m time trial of the season-  Lots of PR's and solid performances by young guys.  We have a long way to go, but these time trial are great training and valuable race experience.  

The next 8 weeks of training are obviously very important, so make sure you are doing everything in your power to make the most of it-  sleeping, eating well, hydrating, using foam roller, stretching, icing, etc.  Serious athletes do these things regularly. 

Plan for the long weekend:

Sat (2/15)- Medium runs up to 60 min (min. 30 min)

Sun (2/16)-  OFF or Easy Run as you feel.  

Mon (2/17)-  No school.  Important workout on your own (preferably get together with teammates for this one) 

                   Group 1:  2 mile WU/  6 mile progression (Ex:  7:00-6:45-6:30-6:10-6:00-5:45)/ 2 mile CD = 10 mile total run (Garmin would be helplful for this one!)

                   Group 2 and 3:  2 mile WU/ 4 mile progression-  goal is to get faster as you go, your last two miles should be up tempo)- 2 mile CD = 8 mile total

                   Everyone-  4 x 30 seconds strides after your cooldown. and post your workout on your training log!
