The road to 2025 racing has just begun!
We have begun Spring Track & Field now for 14 weeks!
Thanks to nice notes from coaches and athletes.
We will include tempo, hills, and some threshold up coming.
We will give you `14 weeks of Spring Track & Field.
Our program is for 800m to 5,000m.
This is week one of the Spring Track & Field Program.
Today is March 18, 2025
Today is the second day of the first week of Spring Track & Field.
Warm up well, 20 minute Tempo Run, (20 minute run at 20 seconds slower per mile pace than current 5k race pace, so if you can run 5:30 per mile, then, 5:50 per mile pace), 8 x 300 meters, cut downs (start at say, 55, and take each 300meters faster than one before, finish with 6 x 150 meters stride-outs, 30 minute cooldown.
Hydrate and stretch. Always hydrate.
