- Our official
Race Calendar has been published. It's time to start thinking about goals for the year and setting up your training cycle(s).
- We will have another 2 Mile/5K for time again at the end of June and July so you can gauge your fitness levels again as we head into the fall racing season.
Coaches Corner 🏆
When we workout, we're creating micro-tears in our muscle fibers, increasing inflammation, releasing stress hormones, and using up our glycogen stores.
Formatting our running into periods of "work" and "recovery", allows our bodies to rebuild and become stronger. Recovery is just as important as running hard. In order to run fast, sometimes you have to run slow.
A proper training cycle will include periods of recovery as your increase your mileage and intensity. Don't neglect theses! This is time for your body to rebuild and let you start your next up cycle with renewed mettle.
Plans vary based on your distance, experience, and starting fitness level, but you will generally want to increase mileage over a 2-3.5 week period and then take a few days to a full week with reduced volume/intensity.
The overall goal is to ratchet up your abilities up over a few months, taking you through a preparatory, competitive, and then your main race.
If you have a Half Marathon scheduled as your Primary race, be sure to have at least one 5k or 10k a month or so out before your main event. This will help you tune, see where you are fitness wise, and sharpen your mental abilities to grind the last few weeks before your eventual race day.
More detail and charts later as we start up our summer/fall training cycles!
