Coach's Notes

Summer Base Week 1 and YOUR schedules are NOT PASSWORD PROTECTED…Group Fartlek on Wednesday and Tempo/Light Sustain on Saturday.

Have a MAGIC Week Everyone!!!

Welcome to Summer Training EVERYONE!!!

It’s a LONG training session culminating 3 Weeks of Base and 15 Weeks of Sweat and Fun. There will be 2 Base Schedules…Gazelles and Zebras...and we will build your mileage SLOWLY...so please follow the schedule and don’t get ahead of yourself. If you have been off running for a while or not quite up to speed, either Skip one of the Easy Days or Reduce the time of a run on any given day. With the summer session of running 18 weeks…we will have a couple light weeks during the training to allow the body to recover and keep injuries at bay.

Group 1 – Gazelles

Group 2 – Zebras

Training for a half/full marathon requires one to be predominantly aerobically fit. Aerobic training exercises the use of oxygen…and is conducted at a speed that allows your working muscles to be supplied with enough oxygen to allow those muscles to work efficiently. The muscles produce waste bi-products known as lactic acid which floods the muscles causing fatigue. Aerobic training is done at a slower speed allowing one to exercise for a pro-longed period. The more conditioned your body, the longer you will be able to run at a sustainable pace...which is our ultimate goal when racing a half or full marathon.  

Be SMART...stay HEALTHY...and LISTEN to your BODY!!!
