Running Around 12-10-07

We'll continue with base training this week and throughout the month. So, road running again this week. If you need a track fix, I've listed a workout below.

If you need a route suggestion, let me know. One good 5-mile route is essentially the Autumnfest route. See http://www.ktc.org/RaceAutumnfest.html. Regardless of where you run, be alert, where light clothing and something reflective if you have it.

Looking ahead, we typically base our training for peak races in May and November. If anyone has suggestions for improvements or changes to our routine, I'd be happy to listen. Also, feedback on the effectiveness of the workouts would be great too. Too tough? Too easy? Too much T? Not enough T? If they're working, let me know that too.

Now for the workouts ...

1a. Road run 5-8 miles.

1b. 3-4 x 1600m @T pace with 60 seconds rest.

2. Striders 4-6 x 100m.
