This is a busy weekend indoors, although indoor meets in NYC and Boston seem to happen each and every day.
Your workout today:
Warmup slowly,
Race indoors or outdoors (where safe) today,
Outdoors, a flat 5k on the roads or a mile/ 3k at all comers meet.
Indoors, a 1000m, mile, or 3k.
After the race, run for 30 minutes, easy to moderate,
Cooldown slowly,
hydrate,
recover,
get wet clothes off after the race,
Larry’s Deep Thoughts:Race early, race often. We know that the big races are in the late spring, but we use races to help build racing skills. Racing a 3k, a 1000m, or an 800m this week indoors would be great. A 5k outdoors is a good option as well.
Josh Kerr, 2023 World Champion at 1,500 meters, will be racing the 2 miles at the 116th Millrose Games tomorrow, 11 February 2024, for more on Millrose, https://www.runblogrun.com/2024/02/millrose-games-comes-to-the-nike-track-field-armory-on-sunday-february-11-2024.html
