The journey of a hansons hopeful, a training log.

Would love for y'all to critique my training.

Unfortunately, no. You wanted the truth. Simply not enough talent.

Zack,

Do you run on your HS team?

If so then why ask for input?

Shouldn’t you be doing what your coach has the team do?

Thanks? That's not what I asked about bro. And you wouldn't know how talented I am now would you?

Sure, but maybe I'm doing something wrong that coach can't see. Its possible.

I wouldn't know how talented you are? Unless you lied about your log, then yes I would.

Newsflash, I ran faster than you as a junior in high school, a lot faster and had zero chance of running for them. You're calling yourself a Hanson Hopeful, right? The sad truth is, you're not and that's not to be taken personally.

You're just upset because you didn't get the answer that you wanted.

Smart move would be to list your name (Zack?) as your handle and drop the other stuff.

And, I doubt you're on the up and up and you may even be a troll/shill. Without your real name, how would anyone but you know bro?

Around 5:40 pace for 3 miles as a Junior??? You have the right to dream whatever you want, but that's a big dream! Good luck but for the most part, those who run for the HOD Program have a lot more ability in high school than what you listed. Keep working at it, but don't make it your only dream. Good luck this weekend.

Thank you! I know its a very lofty goal but I know I can do it.

Also, I've had crazy PRS before. I may brake 17 this weekend but don't want to jinx it.

Week of 9/17 - 9/23 (down week)

Monday: 7 miles ez (7:50 pace)

Tuesday: The Michigan, 800 5k pace, 1 mile tempo, 1200 5k pace, 1 mile tempo, 800 5k pace, 1 mile tempo, 400 all out

This workout was a big confidence booster and makes me feel like I can sneak under 17 after the taper.

Wensday: 6 miles ez

Thursday: 10 x 1 on/off fartlek

Friday: 4 mile pre race

Saturday: am 4 miles shakeout

Pm 5k race in 18:03

Sunday: off

Total: 40 miles

All in all in really happy with this week even though the race didn't go as planned. It was really fun course! This Saturday coach wants to go out at 5:25 pace to see who blows up and who surprises themselves. He thinks we can all run 17:30 or faster this season at least. And I'm inclined to agree with him.

what state are you in?

lol getting on hansons odp is really not a high bar for your running career. They'll take anyone and then run that person into the ground until they quit. Do your research and look at most of the athletes who have joined and then quit the team.

That is false. State your examples. Run them into the ground until they quit? Where do you get this from?

No, they won't take anyone.

You obviously have an ax to grind as that is not true.
