Subject: RE: My goal of sub 4:00 1500-I will not stop until I reach my goal.
Body:
12/15
AM: 2mile w/u
2mile race in 10:03 (3rd overall)
2mile c/d

The course was flat, and there was no reason why I should not have broken 10. My legs felt a little heavy in the beginning, but I had a strong last half mile. This was still about a 27 second PR so, I cannot complain too much.

I just plan on going to the gym tonight after work to do an easy 4-5.

Do you want to run this 3:59 in January or in May?

It is pretty clear that your coach has a short-term outlook for you: i.e. run fast NOW as in this week.

Not sure how much you should even be running in the afternoon if he is running you this hard, but what I would do is every run I did on my own (afternoons) would be 5 miles easy, and 10 miles fairly hard on Sunday.

Keep this program up for December, January, February and March. That is 14 more weeks. Then in April, May and June you can cut down the volume and just do what your coach gives you and focus on a 1:55-57 800 and a 4:00 1500.

The 14 weeks of base should give you what you need.



I think our coach wants us to have a little peak for indoor, but my ultimate goal is sub 4 in May.

We have 3-4 indoor meets in Flagstaff, and then right into the outdoor season.

I have no specific goals for indoor other than just to enjoy the experience and learn some things about racing.
