and so it begins

Working on move-in dates and fall xc schedule, hope to post to blog in next couple of weeks...

Most of you are on week three of training on the new schedule.  For this week, 5-6 light runs totaling 65% of your full volume week.  Add some short hill repeats or strides on Thursday.

Some of you are also ahead of schedule as you took your post-season break earlier.  If ahead of schedule, that's ok.  Just continue gradual build to full mileage.

For those ahead of schedule, for this week and going forward, add a ~70-75% "easy tempo" run on Tuesday's.  Run your normal mileage for the day, using the first mile to warm-up a little.  Then progress the run to about 70-75% effort.  This effort should NOT feel like a "workout" day, rather just a quality distance day.  Make sure you are feeling strong throughout and not struggling to the finish.  Don't worry about pace, just focus on running by feel.

For those on schedule, if you are feeling good and want to add the 70-75% effort on Tuesday, go ahead with it.

As always, if you have any questions, reach out!
