This week, there are two meets for most people, on Monday and Saturday, as well as a day off in the middle of the week on Wednesday. Overall training volume (time spent running) is somewhat reduced on weeks with two races like this one. On the meet days, don’t forget to cool down after your race, ideally 10-20 minutes of easy jogging. Aside from the meets, the most intense day of training will be Thursday’s circuits, which we’ll do in groups like last week.
Mon 9/21 - home meet vs. Bedford. The meet is scheduled to start at 4, it won’t begin any earlier than this although it might be later depending on what time Bedford’s teams arrive. More details on this meet will be in a separate post. This is the first full length race of the season, as opposed to the first two meets with shorter race courses.
Tue 9/22 - hill drills followed by 30-50 minutes at a low to moderate intensity. Depending on weather conditions, this could be an opportunity for another run to/from the town beach, perhaps the last of the season.
Wed 9/23 - off
Thu 9/24 - 10-20 minute warmup, circuits, 10-20 minute cool down. Note that the list of circuit exercises is now included in the “useful links” section on the sidebar to the right.
Fri 9/25 - 30-45 minutes at a moderate intensity (5-6) with 5x100 meter run outs at the end.
Sat 9/26 - Frank Kelley Invitational. More information on this meet will be forthcoming in a separate post. As a preview, note that this meet has separate races for varsity, jv, and freshmen. It also has time standards, meaning that I’m not able to enter everyone.
Sun 9/27 - Same as Tuesday, but without the hill drills.
