Today was the medium-long day. From now on, I will have one long run and another medium-long run within the week. When I start hitting workouts, I will have two/three per week, and the rest will be easy days (two). My coach wants me to get used to the usual CU weekly progression which is as follows:
Sunday: Long Run (20-25% weekly volume)
Monday: Easy run
Tuesday: Workout (either AT run, economy or fartlek)
Wednesday: Medium Long (roughly 80% of the long run)
Thursday: Easy run
Friday: Workout
Saturday: Optional for team (some run, some don't), so I am getting used to running every day of the week
This general format is used by coach Wetmore to really target all aspects of running, from full aerobic to full anaerobic. I think that a bit of time getting used to this plan will really help me once I make the team! |
