Running Around 7-13-09

Last week for base training. The recommended workout is an easy run on the roads or greenways. Since we're trying to build mileage in this phase, try adding 1/2 mile or a mile per week to your Tuesday run.

Next week we're going to do either hills or 200s. I haven't decided yet.

For those that are interested in staying on the track, follow the series of summer track workouts.

Week 8 of base training .... Now for the workout summary:

1. Easy road run 4-10 miles -or- Summer track maintenance workout see http://trackworkouts.blogspot.com/2008/06/summer-track-workout-progression.html.
