On the original schedule I gave all (color-coded), this coming week was supposed to included a Wednesday race in Payson. Instead, we'll run a race on Saturday in Prescott (and I'm looking for drivers... more info below).
So, pay attention to the details, 'cause there are some major changes happening...
We'll again shoot for a 5:15 pick-up.
Monday, 9/3
(on your own) Do a long slow run (hour to an hour and a half), with some "gentle" strides after. Working an core (standfords) would be good too;
Tuesday, 9/4
Hill workout;
Increase amount from what you did last week (as well as intensity).
Wednesday — Meet with teachers, make-up any missing work, get ahead!!!!
Thursday, 9/6
We'll run a "speed endurance" workout at Foxglenn Park... please bring your flats.
Friday, 9/7
Modified Big-Warm-up.
Will discuss specifics during the week.
