Running Around 1-4-10

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday season and that you're refreshed and ready to get back to work.

More Winter base training this week. That means easy running on the roads or greenways. Since there are better opportunities for off-track running starting from campus, we'll be meeting at Tom Black Track this week and for at least a few more weeks. Wear something light in color and/or reflective if you have it.

Work on increasing your total mileage and long run a little each week during the base period. If you're feeling frisky on this week's run, feel free to pick up the pace during the second half.

Week 5 of Winter base training. Now for the workout summary:

1. Easy road run 4-10 miles followed by striders near the track 2-4x 100m.

P.S. If you despise road runs and need a track fix, here is the official off-season base training plan. I know it says summer on the title, but it easier to link to it that create another one for winter:
