Our combined boys and girls cross country team size will probably be around 40 or more this year. However, because it's summer, we have nowhere near that many runners in the summer training program. If I had each of you available every day, I could craft a summer program that would peak you all at exactly the right time. But... with vacations, "commitments" to Soccer and LAX programs, Jr. Lifeguards, etc., etc., etc,. it's impossible to come-up with a single program for everyone. Right now all of our runners should be in "Phase-2" of their periodization for the upcoming high school season. These are the workouts I'm posting on this blog. If you're coming-in from no running at all, these workouts will be progressively inappropriate the later you come-in. Hopefully, many of you who can't make the training sessions will be able to do them on your own.... that's why I post our day-to-day workouts. If your situation is otherwise, email or call me and I'll give you a program to follow that will optimize your training based on your current condition and the time you started your training program.
Now, stepping off the soapbox, because we had a pretty good quality workout on Saturday, and you (hopefully) ran for 40 minutes or so yesterday, .... do about a 30 minute run at "E/L" pace on Monday followed by 6-8 15 second strides (same pace as we did at Balboa on Saturday).
Tuesday, I'd like to join the San Diego Track Club for their 4x1000 meter workout at Balboa. We'll meet at Spreckels at 5pm and carpool over. This will give us time to warmup as a group and be ready for the workout.
Like last Saturday, we need drivers... so please let me know if you can drive.
