Training Sunday, May 24, 2026 (Week 10, Day 7, Spring 2026)
These are your early spring workouts. We are now in week ten.
Your Sunday workout. warm-up, 75-90 minutes of moderate running with a 10-minute hill spike mid-run, moderate pace to finish, cool-down. Moisturize after your run as well as before your run.
Long runs are a major part of our weekly plans for middle distance runners during indoor track, outdoor running, summer running, and fall cross country. We suggest a moderate pace (where you can hold a conversation) for the day and include a long hill for eight to ten minutes or a series of 3 to 4 hills for 10 to 12 minutes in the middle of the run. Long runs help build your aerobic base, endurance, strength and confidence.
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.
