Labor Day weekend training plan

With the long holiday weekend ahead of us, here's a recommended training plan for the next three days:

• A longer, easy run on one of the three days. This might last anywhere from 40 to 75 minutes depending on the person. Start off with the lunge matrix before you go. Like last week, there'll be an optional Saturday practice at the Lincoln commuter rail station (145 Lincoln Road, Lincoln MA) at 9 AM when you can get this done if you like.

• A medium length run (30-50 minutes) or an equivalent amount of time spent cross training on another of the days. For my money aquajogging or an elliptical machine are the best options for alternate forms of training, with cycling or rollerblading/rollerskiing also being good options.

• One day off.

Which workout you do on which day is up to you. If you've been meeting me directly at the town beach the past week for aquajogging I'd recommend doing that on Monday if you have access to a pool or pond and the weather allows for it.

See you Tuesday.
