aerobic short specificity

#MTM #chopwoodcarrywater #lastyearmentality  #WILDDOGS ⬈🝚x🝚 #rememberthegoal

It's time to move into a three-week phase of aerobic short specificity.  In essence, some short goal race pace efforts with long recovery so the overall workout remains aerobic while getting to turn the legs over.  The key is to make sure you take long enough recoveries.  The second workout for the week will be a sustained longish aerobic run.  Continue with the short hill repeats or fast strides on Thursday, and S&C circuit on Tue and Fri.

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

Fri - sustained Aerobic Threshold/Easy Tempo @ ~75%

As always, ask if you have any questions!

Again, reminders...

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.
