speeding up

Week two of aerobic short specificity... some short goal race pace efforts with long recovery so the overall workout remains aerobic while getting to turn the legs over.  Again, the second workout for the week will be an aerobic-based one, either as a fartlek or a sustained Easy Tempo.  Continue with the short hill repeats or fast strides on Thursday, and S&C circuit on Tue and Fri.

Tue: 8-10 x 1' @ either 6k or 8k goal pace with 3' easy recovery

Fri: 5' + 4' + 3' + 2' + 1' @ ~85% effort w/ equal time recovery @ ~65%
       OR 1' + 2' + 3' + 2' + 1' + 2' + 3' + 2' + 1' @ 85% w/ equal time rec @ 65%
       OR 75% Easy Tempo run

Again, reminders...

For those on campus, go to MY HOUSING for info on move-in dates and times for your dorm.

Incoming first-year: move-in August 10-11
Returning Students & Transfers: move-in August 12

Both the team and GTAA will have functions during the following week before school starts.  Before you make any other plans for this week, make sure you clear with coaches first. If you know of any conflicts, make sure you notify coaches as soon as possible.

25 miles last week. Got sick and felt bad on Sunday - Tuesday. Started to build again on Wednesday and by Saturday got back to normal mileage for the week. Feeling much better now and ready for another week of training! Last week in Ireland feeling bittersweet!

Isabella Turner said...

38 miles last week and 2 hours of cross training. 75% tempo went well on Friday. I did the Tuesday workout on an arc trainer because it was the day after my fall and I wanted to play it safe. Last week I had cold symptoms and hit my head, so concussion symptoms as well. Over the weekend and today, no more concussion symptoms!

56 miles last week. Good workouts all around, still working very hard to manage my knee pain. Luckily it feels pretty good on workout days, but doesn’t feel so good on easy days. Still able to get to or near full mileage.

Devin Wade said...

70 miles last week. Good fartlek workout (10 x 1 min on) with Myles on Tuesday and a solid tempo effort on Friday with Charlie. Definitely feeling tired after the tempo work so made sure mileage was very relaxed the rest of the weekend. Looking forward to being on campus soon!

Ava said...

33 miles! Workouts felt great, and I opted for the tempo on Friday! Sadly, I couldn’t hit full volume because I didn’t have access to an elliptical or any cross training equipment this week in Portugal

Grace Crum said...

48 miles last week-feeling a lot better this week with adjusting to the mileage. fartlek on tuesday and 10k easy tempo on friday both felt pretty good.

Katy Earwood said...

75 miles last week! I had a fun LR in Missouri before I left on last Monday! I had missed running on the MKT and the Katy Trail so it was super fun to run there!

Tristan A said...

50 miles increased my stretching and rolling along with ice cups, but realized late this week that that wasn’t the problem my shoes were absolutely burnt out and I should’ve realized it sooner. Mileage was hard this week, but felt like I hit the proper efforts on Tuesday. Felt very sluggish on Friday got new shoes Monday I think it should solve a lot of my soreness problems! Looking forward to being back with the team!

Joey Sandel said...

75 miles. Workout felt good. Getting good recovery.

Elijah forrest said...

I hit 39 miles both the last 2 weeks. Took a down week the first week and the second I was dealing with random knee pain which has since went away after doing some stretching and strength. Goal is to hit about 50 this week.
