Summer Workouts!

With Summer B now underway, advice Coaches Morgan Keppel and Michael Pancotto now have weekly training schedules that will be posted here on the site.

Check out the week’s workouts under the “Training Schedule” tab above, or click here.

Remember, only train at your current level of fitness. If you’re new to running, your easy runs probably shouldn’t be seven-milers. Aim to gradually build up your weekly mileage, as summertime training provides a “base” for cross country in the fall!

Run smart, train smart!

Training questions? Everyone can pose questions in the Facebook group (see the link at right), and one of the coaches or other officers will be happy to assist you online or face to face at a practice!

Saturday- Long run of 1-2 hrs.

Sunday- 20-45 minute recovery run or day off.
Monday (workout day): Start with a 1.5-3mile warmup, urologist
stretch, no rx
and do some strides. You will be doing 200 repeats. Run these all at a 75-80% race pace to keep a fast, steady pace. Do 10-16 of these with a 200 walk/jog in between (try and do more jogging than walking). Do a 1-2mile cooldown after and call it a day.

Tuesday: Easy run! Do anywhere from 4-8miles easy and enjoy the run. Try and do some strides and dynamic stretches after to stay loose.

Wednesday: Since we are on a Monday&Thursday workout routine, do anywhere from 4-9miles. But this time, do one of two things: Either make it a progression run (start at one pace and try to go a little faster each mile till the end) or include a fartleck in the middle of your run (i.e. 2mins fast, 1min easy, 1min hard, 1min easy, 30seconds hard, 1min easy and repeat for 3-4sets). The whole point of this is to warm your legs up for the next day. Trust me, it sounds ridiculous, but your legs will be thanking you for the heads up the next day.

Thursday (workout day): Start with a 1.5-3mile warmup, stretch, and do some strides. You will be doing 300 repeats. Again run all of these at 75-80% race pace to keep a fast, steady pace. Do 8-12 of these with 2minutes rest in between each one. If it becomes easy to keep after 4 of them, shorten the rest to a minute and 30seconds. Do a 1-2mile cooldown after and call it a day.

Friday: Recovery run of 4-6miles.

Saturday: Long Distance run! Try and do between 7-10 (For Girls) and 9-12 (For Guys) miles. We usually go to San Felasco to run on some trails so please come join us so you don’t have to do this all alone! If your legs feel fully recovered, include a mini fartleck during this to get some speed in (this is NOT required, just a consideration).

Sunday: Either take the day off or run for 30mins max. Don’t worry about the distance in the 30minutes of running because this day is to just help your legs relax.

Every night: Please make sure you stretch! This is very crucial to your training. The time you take to watch one television show could be also used to stretch! Make sure you hydrate during the day, eat (of course) and try to include your daily essentials (taking Vitamins is very helpful towards your training too). Last but not least, I know it may be hard, but make sure you get at least 7 hours of sleep a night or take naps to make it up. If you feel like you aren’t getting enough mileage for the week or feel like your legs are tired before workouts, do some two a days and have the second run be an easy run. This will help with the oxygen flow through your legs which will help you complete these workouts with less pain!

3/11-3/17

Tuesday(workout day): If you didn’t do a workout today (Monday 3/11) you will be doing a workout today. Start with a 1.5-3mile warmup, read more stretch, and do some strides. You will be doing 200s and 300s. You are going to do these at a consistent, close to all out pace for each one. You will do a 300 hard, then jog 200 meters, then do a 200 hard. After that you will take a 1-2minute standing break and repeat that 5-10 times. Try and keep your breaks consistent to allow the muscles to get used to the oxygen flow that they are receiving in shorter periods of time. This will help with your turnover as you are trying to sprint to the finish! After doing that, run a 1-2mile cooldown and stretch.

Wednesday: Run 4-8 miles at a comfortable pace. Try and keep the pace consistent so you can get in the habit of making this your usual Tuesday running pace! Finish with 4-6 100m strides (try and get in the grass to stride…if you can’t then its ok).

Thursday(workout day): Start with a 1.5-3mile warmup, stretch, and do some strides. You will be doing a workout that sprinters usually do but is very helpful to mid distance runners as well. You will be on the track, sprinting the straight-a-ways and jogging the curves. You will do a mile of it straight, then you will take a 2minute break, then a mile of it straight, then a 1minute break, a mile of it straight, 30second break, and then one more mile of it. After this, do a 1-2mile cooldown and stretch.

Friday: Easy 4-6miles with 2-4 strides after

Saturday: Long Distance Run! We tend to drive out from the track at 7am to San Felasco and run (depending on your desire) anywhere from 5-13miles. You usually want this day to be the longest you run in the week, so if the longest you ran was 8miles, try and do 9-11miles. With endurance comes speed!

Sunday: You have made it to the best day of the week! You get to choose whether you want to take the day off or run 3-6miles very easy. If you do decide to run, seriously take the run easily. Don’t push the pace whatsoever. Maybe grab a friend who doesn’t run much to join you if you are afraid of going too fast; your legs need a rest every now and then and this easy run will help ensure that for you (and definitely the day off will as well).

Everyday: PLEASE make sure you are hydrating everyday, getting your rest (average of 7hours a night), eating healthily and just eating period, as well as stretching. Trust me, if you take care of your own body, your body will take care of you when you are out there competing/training.  Also don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the workouts or need help with them in any way, shape, or form
