Ive been reading a lot on these forums and point that has been brought across very often is that Highschoolers should double more and slow down during easy runs. I decided that I would implement these into my training schedule so I have been doing 3-4, 3 mile runs a day at 9:30 pace with 5 3 mile runs at a slightly faster pace for my long run. I have yet to run much faster than I did last year.
oh boy...this doesn't sound right...
I would recommend getting a coach that knows something about running because it sounds like you need major help developing a training plan.. Yikes.
Constant runs that short are not going to help you at all. By doubles it is meant 6-10 miles in the morning at your normal pace maybe alittle slower, 10-15 seconds and then an easy 3-5 miler at night. Doing what you have been doing i at that pace is not going to benefit you in any way. Doubling is really only used for guys hitting above 70 mpw.
You're doing too many slow and short runs. You need a run or two runs a day. IF you're doubling, one run should be real short while the other is at least twice the distance in length and more than a little faster. 9:30 pace is a bit slow most days.
OK, troll. Since it is the beginning of the fifth week of the season, like most HS runners, you should have run roughly 15 meets. Please list the distances and your times for these races. My guess is that you have not been running with enough hate in these races. Most likely, all you need to do is to crank up the hate and cut the rest between your 3, 4 or 5 daily 3 mile runs.
