Below is a re-post from last week regarding what a "break" should look like. Everyone should be in various stages of this break. In years past, we set up individual year-end meetings. Honestly, we are not sure individual meetings will happen this year. Most likely, some form of virtual group meetings will take place. However, one thing we need to do in the meantime is determine a full volume mileage week for next year. PLEASE CONSIDER YOUR FULL VOLUME WEEK FROM LAST YEAR, THINK ABOUT HOW YOUR YEAR WENT, AND TEXT US YOUR THOUGHTS FOR FULL VOLUME WEEKLY MILEAGE FOR NEXT YEAR.
NOTE: with all but one now done competing for the season, we should mostly be in the time off period following the end of competition. What this "break" period should look like is 5 days completely off from running and cross-training, but each day should contain 10-15 minutes of stretching, foam rolling, mobility work, leg swings, etc. The next 5 days should be off of running, but can add cross-training such as walking, biking, swimming, etc, AND continue the 10-15 minutes of stretching, foam rolling, mobility work, leg swings, etc. After this 10 day period, if feeling ready to return to running, can add 20-30 minutes of light running with some 3-5 short strides at ~5k pace during the run, AND continue the 10-15 minutes of stretching, foam rolling, mobility work, leg swings, etc. As needed, can take days off from running, but cross-train AND continue the 10-15 minutes of stretching, foam rolling, mobility work, leg swings, etc. Gradually build into summer mileage.
