August:
Week 10: 3-4 Days of Easy Running (30-45min)
Week 11: 3-4 Days of alternating Easy/Medium Running (30-45min)
EASY RUN: This is a run at conversation pace. It is slow and steady to where you feel
comfortable but are able to talk.
MEDIUM RUN: This is a run that is at a faster pace, but your recovery does not take
long. In other words, your breathing returns to normal within 3-5 minutes. You will need
to experiment with your pace to find where you are running faster than an easy.
HARD RUN: This run is done at or just below what your race pace is. Many of you may
not know what your race pace is, that is okay. What I need is for you to run as if you
were trying to beat a time or go a certain distance about as fast as you could. This is not
a sprint. It needs to be a pace you can hold on to but fatigues you and takes
7-10minutes for breathing to be “normal” again.
A few suggestions to keep you motivated:
1. If possible,run with someone. In the current circumstances I would say only one
other person. No big groups.
2. Keep track of your miles. I will be giving out 100 mile and 200 mile club
T-shirts for your efforts this summer. A daily journal of your running is the
best way to see what you have accomplished.
3. If you do not have a watch with a stopwatch you should get one. It helps with
knowing where you are at in a run.
4. Find different places to run if possible. A fresh scene can be nice for running a
whole summer.
5. Do not sacrifice things you have planned for the summer to run. If you can work it
in, that is great, but it is okay to miss days. (Not when practice begins though!!!)
6. Have fun! Take care of your body, if it tells you it doesn’t want to go, don’t. This
should be fun, even though it is work!
