Running Around 1-17-11

I don't know about you guys, but I was excited to be able to run without tights/hat/gloves a few days this week!

We've had 6 weeks of base, but now it's time to get things started on our Spring training cycle. Calhoun's 10-miler is coming up this weekend, so let's do some tempo miles as a rust-buster. Don't expect too much from yourself if you've only been running base. If you're in between on number of miles, go with a more conservative approach on this first workout of the year.

Week 1 of Spring 2011 training. Now for the workout summary.
 
1. 3-6 x 1600m @T pace with 60 seconds rest. Volume should be 10% of your weekly mileage.

2. Striders at least once this week 4-6x 100m.
