competition schedule

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

Week two of aerobic short specificity... 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 sustained Aerobic Threshold/Easy Tempo or a fartlek. 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%
        OR  5' + 4' + 3' + 2' + 1' @ ~85% effort w/ equal time recovery @ ~65%

As always, ask if you have any questions!

  14. 21 miles of running last week. I felt more fit each day. Midday runs were a lot harder, but still felt good. I adjusted pace and effort for runs in the most heat.

  17. 57 miles last week, a little under this week. Tuesday’s workout went well, but started to get a minor cold later that evening. Didn’t feel great Wednesday and took the day off for increased recovery. Easier doubles every day rest of the week and back to normal on Sunday.
