2026 Spring Middle Distance Training (800m-5,000m) Saturday March 28, 2026 Week 2 Day 6 Easy Day for Saturday…


Hello high school distance runners, and here’s our spring training guide (March-June) from RunBlogRun.

Training Saturday, March 28, 2026

We finished the indoor season last Sunday. It will culminate this coming weekend on a global scale with the World Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland. Stay tuned for updates on where to watch and who you’ll be seeing. Also check out updates from last weekend’s NIKE Indoor Champs and New Balance Indoor Champs.

Your options:

Your workout: warm up, 45-60 minutes of very easy jogging followed by 6 x 150 meter runs and cool down. Quickly remove wet clothing and change socks and shoes.

or,

Warm-up, 5000m race or 3000m race, work hard for the last kilometer. After the race, 20 minutes of moderate jogging, finish with 6 x 300 meters, good effort, cool down.

Hydration is a state of mind. Hydration is not drinking too many sugary drinks. it’s about getting enough water, 8-12 glasses of 8-12 oz a day, carrying a water bottle, and managing caffeine and sugary drinks, which are absolute crap for a true athlete. Also, stay away from so-called sports energy drinks and don’t combine them with alcohol. Why train your ass and then mess it up by putting some junk in your mortal engine?

Want to be a better middle distance runner than you were before? Focus and follow our training. It’s all about consistency.
