Off-season Training: Week 6 (July 14)

Goal for Week 6: Stay/Get Healthy

This week try to maintain mileage and do your best to deal with the hot weather. We're half-way through the summer's training and need to adapt to the running we've been doing before we increase the intensity or volume of training. As I've told some, think of running in hot and humid conditions as our version of altitude training.

We are at that point of the summer and off-season training where there shouldn't be any other activities that interfere with daily running. That means no races or speed work for now. Save it for cross country. If you have injuries that prevent you from doing the training please let me know and we'll involve the athletic trainers/doctor.

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


Coach Van Arkel
