Hey guys i'm a sophomore guy, this is my first year of running and i have a meet the day after new years. My PR for the 3200 and 1600 are 10:25 and 5:19 respectively.
I was just wondering if someone could lay out some workouts and what i should do with my training these 2 weeks before my meet to hit PRs. Also, what are somethings i can do the week of the race to let me sharp and ready. Thanks
typo 3200 time was 11:25 not 10:25
bump
What is your training like right now?
about 40-50 mpw, 11-12 mi long run, a 20-30 min tempo, and a fartlek or a speed workout like 400s, 800s, 200s.
and i get in about 1 to 2 weight sessions a week
Just stay doing what your doing. The week of the meet just run one hard workout and maybe a little speed workout.
thanks, anyone else?
Run more.
Sounds like you doing the right stuff for right now, doing good weight training and some speed play and some tempo work.
This early in the season you are probably good with doing that.
Later in the season about 7 weeks out from your goal race, do some plyo metrics instead of your weights.
start with 80 to 100 touches total volume and move up to 120 to 140 during the 6 weeks and the last week just take that off.
Also, you may want to get into some quicker speed work near the end as well... unless that is a weak point in your training and I would suggest starting it sooner.
40 to 50 miles a week is great an all, but what is your long run like? work on building that up to 1.5 to 2 hours long if you can during the season. If you do that, you dont even have to increase your daily mileage.
If you have any more question feel free to shoot me an e-mail!
