This next week will be an easy week for those runners who have been consistently building their distance base the past several weeks. We'll do one long run(> 75 minutes) at the beginning of the week, but the next four days should consist of very easy running(just a few miles) and cross training(maybe some biking or swimming) to give the legs a rest. Do not be concerned about total miles this week. On Friday we'll get back into the routine and do hill repeats. Strength work during the week should still include 3 sets of pushups, crunches and pullups or curls with dumbbells. The following week will begin with another long run and we will plan to run fairly high mileage(50-70+ miles) during weeks 7 thru 10.
Training for Week 6(July 9):
Sunday(7/9) Long run of 11-14 miles
Monday Cross training w/ strength work
Tuesday Easy run
Wednesday Cross training w/ strength work
Thursday Easy run
Friday 7-9 miles w/ hill repeats
