Training Saturday, May 30, 2026 (Saturday 11, Day 6, Spring 2026)
These are your early spring workouts. We are now in week eleven. The spring season is coming to an end for most athletes. The Under Armor Nationals are this weekend, as is the CIF California State Meet. Most of the 1 million track and field athletes have graduated from track and field.
If you want to compete, do it. Find an all-you-can-eat meet, run a road race, do an event you’ve never been to.
On June 1st we will be starting the pre-season of the RBR Summer Running Program and are encouraging runners from 400 meters up to give it a try.
We will also continue training for track and field through NIKE Outdoor and New Balance Outdoors, which will be held June 18-21.
Fifty-one years ago today, American track and field rock star Steve Prefontaine was killed in a car accident.
Your Saturday workout. Warm-up, race 800m, 1500m or 3000m. Or try 5000 m. Cool well.
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 are absolute crap for a real 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?
Think before you drink.
Want to be a better runner than you were before? Focus and follow our training. It’s all about consistency.
