Hello high school distance runners and here is our spring training guide (January-March) from RunBlogRun.

Training Wednesday, March 18, 2026

We finished the indoor season on Sunday. It will culminate on a global scale with the World Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland this coming weekend. 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 training. 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.

Hydration is a state of mind. Hydration isn’t about drinking lots of sugary drinks, it’s about drinking water, 8-12 glasses of 8-12 oz a day, carrying a water bottle, and managing caffeine and sugary drinks, which for a true athlete is 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?

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