Off-Season Training/Recovery

Off-Season Training for Nov. 13 thru Jan. 17:

After this current week of recovery and little, if any, running following the NCAA regional meet, distance and middle-distance runners will start the following week to develop a routine, build a distance base with mileage and become consistent with daily runs in preparation for track. We'll be practicing some between November 17 and December 2, but will then be running our own until the spring semester begins.

Starting later in November and continuing through the winter break plan for a long run each week somewhere between 60 minutes and 80 minutes. Also, at least two times during the week find a hilly course and push the pace on the uphills for leg strength. Add core strength exercises after those runs.

After Jan. 1 we will increase mileage. When we get back to campus in mid January we will plan specific workouts according to the events you'll race indoors and outdoors. Do not expect to do much speed work in January until after we have a good distance base and have done a fair amount of strength work.
