Hi I'm a HS sophomore that has moderate talent that is looking to work hard but although i dont know it all (which is why i want a 'coach')I feel that my coach is not the best and I was wondering if anyone could guide me in that direction throughout my HS career such as training plans, goals, drills, injury prevention stuff and race strategies. If anybody is willing to help me please leave an email so we can contact.
What is your current training plan look like and what are you looking to run.
Ran 50 mpw for a 3 week peak at end of summer and had to many "junk" miles and now am running like crap ( worse than last year, ran 17:40 on about 32 mpw) but I'm training for 5k, 3200, and 1600.
Have you ran any quality workouts these past few weeks.
Yes, about 6 sessions by now.
What exactly were those sessions.
I would right now run about 35-40 mpw . Don't think quantity think quality. You don't want to run any junk mileage. Right now it seems you probably lack ALOT of aerobic strength due to the junk miles. A race week training schedule should consist of 2 sessions and 3 distance days of easy and moderate running. Also you may want to try and run 2 workouts in back to back days to practice running fatigued. Also try to incorporate longer things like 5-7 mile progressive runs,2k interval repeats etc... Lastly make sure you are getting a long run in every week.
someone wanna explain junk miles to me?
It is what it says. Miles that give you NO benefits and are USELESS.
