At this point in the season, as a division 1 runner at 95 mpw i do my double(s) on wednesday and thursday. Friday we have an interval and quicker workout while sunday is long run and Tuesday we have a more strength based workout. How do you all structure your week running wise???

That seems like a lot of work for a Volley Ball player.

Just the first name i thought of, man

Monday might run probably not

Tuesday hills

Wednesday medium long

Thursday fartlek

Friday might run probably not

5k - 14:19

This is my schedule...but, alas, sometimes "life gets in the way" of training & compromises to training happens. Sigh.

MON: two a day w/ PM tempo & strides (30AM, 60PM)

TUES: two a day easy w/ PM barefoot running (30AM, 60PM)

WED: OFF (because of work schedule...sometimes 30AM)

THUR: two a day easy w/ PM barefoot running (30AM, 60PM)

FRI: aerobic, steady effort w/ Canova Hill Sprints (60PM) (no AM run because of work schedule)

SAT: long w. strides (80-90AM)

SUN: shake-out w/ barefoot running (35-45AM)

This was a typical week of college training in September

Sunday - long run, typically 1:30:00 sometimes 1:45:00

Monday - AM: 30:00 recovery - PM: 45:00 w/ strides and drills or threshold intervals

Tuesday - AM: 30:00 recovery - PM: 45:00 - 1:00:00 easy

Wednesday - AM: 30:00 recovery - PM: mile intervals @ VO2max w/ 3:00 rest. As the fall went on we went from 3 x 1-mile to 6 x 1-mile and then 1.5-mile + 4 x 1-mile 2.0-mile + 3 x 1-mile.

Thursday - AM: 30:00 recovery - PM 45:00 easy w/ strides

Friday - AM: 30:00 recovery - PM travel or 45:00 easy

Saturday - Usually a race (college over-races) if not then it was an easy run.

My current September looks like this:

Sunday: 1-hr

Monday - 45:00

Tuesday- 45:00

Wednesday- 45:00 w/ drills and strides

Thursday - 45:00

Friday - Off

Saturday- 45:00 + short hills

I'm in the middle of a build up process after a long break from running so I'm keeping my training very basic. The strides and short hills are to awaken some dormant speed. The goal is to eventually progress the 45:00 to 1-hr and the long run to 1:45:00. Once my basic aerobic conditioning is established I'll begin a formal training program for the marathon.

sunday long run, 15+

monday recovery double (11am, 6pm)

tuesday recovery double (8am, 4pm)

wednesday shakeout run in morning (1-3), repeats @ track in afternoon 6+

thursday recovery double(11am, 6pm)

friday recovery double (8am, 4pm)

saturday shakeout run in morning (1-3), usually tempo or structured fartlek in afternoon 6-10

all #s indicate intended mileage. sometimes i may go long or short by a mile as i forget my watch often and do a lot of my runs based on feel

once a month, I do an all out time trial 1500m - 5K. I don't really race much anymore except 1-3 times a year, which I almost always win, but who cares because it's local anyways
