Off-season Training: Week 5 (July 7)

Goal for Week 5: Increase Mileage

This week we'll try to increase mileage some. The long run should be around 70-80 minutes, plus try to increase distance one other day during the week. Ideally, mileage should be at least 50-60 miles/ week. Again, one time during the week find a 150-200m hill (preferably grass) to run, 6-8 times at about 3K-5K race pace with an easy jog back down between each repeat. The weather has been tolerable, but it will get hotter so remember to hydrate and drink plenty of water before and after your run.


Sunday Long Run (70 minutes or more)

Monday 5-6 miles

Tuesday 7-8 miles with hill repeats (6 x 150m)

Wednesday 9-10 miles

Thursday 5-6 miles w/ strength training

Friday 8-9 miles

Saturday 5-6 miles or swim/bike w/ strength training
