IMPORTANT WEDNESDAY WEATHER ALERT: As of now,the weather is looking very dicey for this Wednesday morning. So, if it’s still looking that way by tomorrow evening at 7:30, I’ll get a message out to you letting you know that we’ll be meeting on TUESDAY morning instead. Stay tuned tomorrow evening…
 
Thanks for making my coaching journey so rewarding!

WEEK of FEBRUARY 18
****Remember: pool miles count towards your weekly mileage!
 
*Speedsters:
-5K-10K racers = ~25-30 miles or more (80% AHR/20% faster)
-10 Miler/Half = ~30-35 miles or more (85% AHR/15% faster)
 
MONDAY February 18
Less AHR miles today with NO surges since there’s a really good chance we’ll be working out at the track on Tuesday morning this week. 
 
*Speedsters = 4-5 miles at 70-75% of 10 miler pace 
 
WEDNESDAY February 20 (or maybe TUESDAY February 19)
***Please join me at 5:30am at the UVa track for the following “Spartans”. The forecast is looking very dicey for Wednesday morning, so there’s a really good chance that I will be moving our speed workout meeting time to TUESDAY morning. I’ll let you know by tomorrow (Monday) evening at 7:30. Thanks forstaying loose!
 
*Speedsters = “SPARTAN” as follows:
-1600 (4 laps) on the track at 93-98% of 10 miler pace 
-800 off at 90-93%

-200 on fast but relaxed!
After completing the 200, do 4 x 8 second flat surface surges with a long slow recovery in between each. 
 
THURSDAY February 21
PLEASE NOTE: To make up for the lower mileage on Monday,this week, I might suggest going a bit longer and adding some hill surges as follows, to your Thursday run (since we probablywon’t be going hard on Wednesday this week):
 
***REMEMBER: Do NOT run the hill surges if you’re prone to Achilles, calf or hamstring issues!
 
*Speedsters = 5-6 AHR miles with the following surges on a moderate hill:
-2 x 20 seconds
-2 x 10 seconds 
-2 x 25 seconds
-2 x 10 seconds 
-2 x 30 seconds

-2 x 20 seconds
-2 x 10 seconds
-2 x 25 seconds
-2 x 10 seconds
-2 x 30 seconds
 
*BB Group #2 = 7-8 miles at 80% with the same hill surges as Group #1
 
*BB Group #3 = 6-7 miles at 80% with the following surges on a moderate hill:
-2 x 20 seconds

***Please find courses that closely mimic the terrain of your race course.
