It is not the end of winter yet, but when it is what should my workouts be for post winter track and pre spring track? I have about a month in between the two with no practice and I would like to stay in shape for the mile / 2 mile. What are your thoughts?
Well that is an interesting situation. I've never heard of a team taking off for a month after indoor. That would put you at late March when you pick back up. Most states start their qualifying rounds in April. But anyway, you should ask your coach first and foremost because he may have a plan for your training. If he doesn't have any direction for you, then you should consider doing some maintenance training (some tempo work and easy distance) and then throw in a weekly Vo2 workout (might look like 6x800 @ 3200 race pace with equal standing or jogging recovery depending on the weather). Hope that helps.
I get the Tempo and easy running. However 6X800 at 3200m pace seems quite anaerobic. Is that OK during what appears to be winter base building?
