Workout for Sunday, May 10, 2026,(Week 8, Day 7, Spring 2026)
These are your early Spring workouts. We are now in week eight.
Your Sunday workout: Warm-up, keep early miles relaxed, total run is 80-95 minutes. Midway through the run, suggest a long hilly section of 10-15 minutes that is challenging, finish the run with a more modest pace, then, cooldown well, focus on stretching the large muscle groups, change into dry clothes, hydrate, and get into recovery shoes.
Hydration is a state of mind. Hydration is not about drinking lots of sugary drinks; it is about getting down water, 8-12 glasses of 8-12 oz a day, carrying a water bottle, and managing caffeine intake and carbonated sugar drinks, which are absolute crap for a real athlete. Also, stay away from the so-called sports energy drinks and do not combine them with alcohol. Why train your butt off and then mess it up by putting some junk in your mortal engine?
Think before you drink.
Do you want to be a better track runner than you were in the past? Focus and follow our training. It is all about the consistency.
