Christmas week

Hopefully last week went well and everyone is catching up on some much needed sleep! Another simple week ahead - a long run, one aerobic speed fartlek, one or two 80% runs, and some recovery aerobic runs. The schedule is listed below. As you can see, Monday gives you an option of an easy recovery run or a strong aerobic 80% run - pay attention to how you feel recovering from your Sunday long run and make a decision for Monday. Generally, freshmen should opt for the easy recovery run. If in doubt, opt for the recovery run. One last note, make sure you are stretching, particularly after each run. Make sure you include 3 x 30 seconds on each hip flexor.

Continue your recovery strategies and iron supplementation, and don't forget to text your weekly mileage total for the last week! If you have questions, contact one of your coaches.
