Summer Training/First Practice August 20

Our first Drury cross country practice will be Thursday, August 20, at 7 am. All runners need to be on campus by then. Freshmen orientation starts just two days later. Insurance and a physical(by a physician) and signed consent forms are REQUIRED before the first practice. Medical forms are available and can be downloaded on the Drury Athletics web page under Athletic Training. The team may be also getting physicals from Drury doctors as we arrive on campus in August. If you move during the summer or leave home for an extended period of time be sure I have a good mailing address for you. The NCAA may want to conduct random drug tests and all student athletes on the roster are subject to being tested year round.

I will make specific suggestions regarding workouts starting June 20. That will give us eight weeks prior to August 16 to increase mileage, develop aerobic fitness and add some other strength/hill workouts. By mid-June we should be running consistently(six days/week), be in a summer routine, become acclimated to the heat, and be doing a couple of core strength workouts(crunches, planks, pushups and dips) each week.

Eventually, I will be asking runners to forward biographical information for the Drury web site and to also forward training shoe details so I can get everyone a pair of new training shoes by the beginning of practice.

Winter Off-Season Training: Week of Jan. 11

Off-season training for T&F becomes more specific as we get close to the start of practice. Consistency and volume are key, which means getting out in cold weather and putting in the miles. The weekly long run is still THE most important workout. Once a week do at least six strides(gradual 80m accelerations on grass-hold top speed for 20m) at the end of a run. Once a week do at least six repeats up a longish(200m) hill at close to 3000m pace. Later in the week add another set of short, steep hill repeats run slightly faster with high knee lift and arm movement. At least twice during the week do core strength training( 2 sets of crunches/planks/pushups/curls).

800m/1500m runners can expect to do quite a bit of strides, speed drills, bounding and core strength work when practice starts. 5000m/10000m runners can expect to do much of that along with higher mileage as the outdoor season gets closer.

Off-season Training: Week of Jan. 11:

Sun(1/11) Long run of 10-13 miles(1&1/2 hour)

Mon(1/12) 7-9 miles(1 hour)

Tue(1/13) 6-8 miles w/ smooth strides(6x80m) & strength training

Winter Break Training

Off-season training for Jan. 1 thru Jan. 21:

Everyone should currently be running consistent mileage and doing strides/core strength workouts starting the first week of the year, then be ready to increase volume and add hill repeats by the second week. The next six weeks will consist of solid base training before we start doing faster repeats and intervals as we prepare for outdoor track races in March. Women and men interested in running 800m/1500m races this spring should be averaging close to 40-50 miles/week during the upcoming weeks. 5000m/10000m runners should be around 60+ miles/week during this period.

In addition to increasing mileage during the next couple of weeks, add three specific workouts. Your long run each week should now be somewhere between 60 minutes and 90 minutes. At least one time a week starting the second week of january find a 150m-200m hill and run 6 to 8 moderately hard repeats up with an easy jog back down. Also, at least two times each week add 6-8 short relaxed sprints/strides at the end of your training run and combine those strides with core stability work(crunches, leg raises, dips and pushups). Except for the hill repeats and strides, all other runs can be done at a conversational aerobic pace. As always, try to run as much as possible on trails or grass, generally stay within yourself, stretch after your runs, get plenty of rest and try not to do anything too reckless or unhealthy. Practice starts January 22 at 4:30 pm.

Typical week's off-season training:
Sunday Long run of 10-13 miles
Monday 7-9 miles
Tuesday 6-8 miles w/ strides & strength training
Wednesday 7-9 miles w hill repeats
Thursday 8-10 miles
Friday 6-8 miles w/ strides & strength training
Saturday 5-7 miles or cross training
