Looking for some tips for training this Summer. Looking to up mileage and go mid 24's (at least) in the 8k.
Training history:
Roughly 50-60 MPW for last 9 months; hit spikes of 70-80 MPW last Summer with no complications.
Historically mid distance, strong performer in 800m
Considered something like Summer of Malmo but was wondering if anyone had other insights. Thanks
... couldn't you start by emailing or calling your college coach?
You have a coach right...just ask them what they want you to do this summer.
Coach has practiced a primarily hands-off approach to Summer training, just tells us to not be lazy essentially. Was hoping some more structure/insight could be provided here.
If your coach has that attitude, transfer.
What school?
