With such intense heat in most places, the past week was a hard one and I hope everyone drank plenty of water and moderated their workouts a bit. Temperatures may drop this next week and allow us get our mileage back up. Three more weeks of aerobic conditioning before practice starts will help us achieve our personal and team goals in the fall. Plan to run fairly high mileage(50-70+ miles) during weeks 8, 9 & 10. We will have a few more easy days again just prior to the start of practice on August 17. I would also suggest increasing the number of hill repeats(8-10 total) and doing core strength work at least three times during the week. Expect to do a lot of crunches and pushups when we start official practice.
Training for Week 8(July 23):
Sunday(7/23) Long run of 12-14 miles
Monday 5-6 miles
pm 4-5 miles & strength training
Tuesday 8-10 miles
Wednesday 6-8 miles w/ hill repeats & strength training
Thursday 5-6 miles
pm 4-5 miles
Friday 8-10 miles & strength training
Saturday 4-6 miles or swim/bike
