Training this week 11/26/07 to 12/1/07

      This week we'll run cruise intervals on Monday, hills on Tuesday, a tempo run on Wednesday, a recovery day on Thursday, a long run on Friday, and on Saturday we'll do a double workout - 30 minutes easy in the morning and a hill workout in the afternoon.  I want all the Blue Team runners to do one morning run during the week, for 30 minutes.  I know this is difficult because of the school's starting time but I also know if we can get in 2 double workouts per week we will be stronger and faster.  Try to avoid Thursday this week because Thursday is a recovery day, but also look at your school workload to avoid a day when an important assignment or test is due.  If you have access to a treadmill, use it.  If not, running in your neighborhood or at a nearby school or park may work.  I know there may be transportation or safety issues, and it may not be possible to do this, but I want everyone to see if they can make this work.

Monday 11/26/07  3:15 PM to 4:45 PM   Movement prep, 1 mile warmup on the field loop, Blue Team - 5 x 1200 meters at designated paces (see Coach Ford for your target time) with a 1 minute rest,  Maroon Team - 3 x 800 meters (see Coach Ford for target times) with a 90 second rest interval, 1 mile warmdown, stretch.

Tuesday  11/27/07   3:15 PM to 4:45 PM    Movement prep, core, speed ladder, run the field loop counter clock wise and run down to S curve, run S curve repeats ( Blue Team - 5, Maroon Team - 3) with the rest interval being a walk down the hill - start the runs at the lowest point as you approach S curve and finish at the intersection with the Woodchip trail.   Warmdown will be to run back to the track, get a drink, and jog 1 mile on the track or field loop.  Stretch.
