Off-season Training: Weeks of June 28 & July 5

The next two weeks we'll add a couple elements to the training. At least one time during the week find a hilly course to run, working the uphills at a slightly faster pace than normal (6 x 150m at 3K pace). Also, add a couple of core strength workouts to the training. These workouts can be as simple as two sets of crunches,  two sets of pushups and a couple of sets of planks (front and back held for 20-30 seconds). The long run should now be at least 70 minutes and weekly mileage close to 50+. In mid-July we'll start to think about specific weekly mileage goals.

Sunday Long Run (70 minutes or more)

Monday 5-6 miles

Tuesday 7-8 miles with hills

Wednesday 9-10 miles

Thursday 5-6 miles w/ strength training

Friday 9-10 miles

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