holiday break v.2014

*TEXT COACH YOUR MILEAGE FOR LAST WEEK

Let's use this week as a bit of a recovery from exams.  Try to catch up on sleep and don't make too much of Tuesday's workout - aerobic speed fartlek.  Just go for a run to get your mileage in and once warmed up, every three or four minutes put in a fast thirty seconds.  Later in the week, see how you're feeling and decide on either the fartlek or the workout for Friday.  If you're not sure about anything, text your coaches!  Lastly, make sure you complete the full day's training...that includes warm-up, strides, strength work, recovery, etc...
