Training Sunday, May 10, 2026 (Week 8, Day 7, Spring 2026)
These are your early spring workouts. We are now in week eight.
Your Sunday workout. Warm up, early miles take it easy, total run 80-95 minutes. In the middle of the run, offer a long hilly section of 10-15 minutes that is challenging, finish the run at a more moderate pace, then cool down well, focus on stretching large muscle groups, change into dry clothes, hydrate and wear recovery shoes.
Hydration is a state of mind. Hydration is not drinking too many sugary drinks. it’s about drinking water, 8-12 glasses of 8-12 ounces a day, carrying a water bottle, and managing caffeine and sugary drinks, which for a true athlete are absolute crap. 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?
Think before you drink.
Want to be a better runner than you were before? Focus and follow our training. It’s all about consistency.
