Coach's Notes

Summer Base Week 1…schedules ARE NOT PASSWORD PROTECTED…Combo Fartlek on Wednesday and Tempo on Friday and Boulder 70.3 Aid Station on Saturday.

Have an AWESOME Week Everyone!!!

Welcome to Summer Training!!!

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 biproducts 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 and let’s have a GREAT Summer!!!
