Mondays are the start of our training weeks. After a race on Saturday, and a long run on Sundays, Monday is always a pretty relaxed day. Find a friend, get the run in and then, perhaps, jump on the track and do your 150 meter stride outs. Speed is key in all parts of your season. Stride outs just remind you to run fast at the end of races. It loosens you up a bit and adds some variety to your program.

Oh, and one more point. It is important for you to communicate with your coach. Tell him or her when you feel well, don’t and when, you are not sure what you are getting out of a series of workouts. It helps them understand what you need and how you are progressing.
