Running Around 5•19•13

Week 26 • Spring 2013


Final week of training before we have Expo 5k/10k on Saturday! We have put in a lot of hard work and many miles during this training cycle. I hope everyone has a good race or two along the way. This is the end of our Spring training cycle, so get out there, run hard, and don't hold anything back!!

I'm going to offer a couple of options this week. Typically, I like the patented taper/sharpening mix of a combination of light tempo and short, fast reps. So that will be option #1. However, I ran a hard workout the week of Dogwood and had a great race, so I'm personally going back to that 800 workout, hoping that similar success will follow this weekend. I'm going to drop the number down from 8 to 6 though. Whatever you decide to do is fine with me. The details below are for the maximum amount to run based on miles per week. Feel free to cut either workout down a little bit if you think it will help you race better.
