Training Log Archive: Anna

6x(60 on, 60 off), 5 min jog, 6x(30 on, 30 off). Was gonna be a fartlek, but ended up being more like intervals at mile pace. That's fine, since I was just doing a fartlek because I was tired.

Nice run today, easy. Team meeting before practice, apparently people, I think underclassmen, skipped practice Friday to pre-game for WILD (extremely not ok). I'd been debating whether or not it was worth Coach's time to send him an e-mail telling him I wouldn't be at practice Friday bc of my flight, and then finally did. Good thing! Whew!

Wasn't as boring as I thought it would be, plus I told myself I would actually x-train this week... Plenty of work to do.

Talked to Jamie about my training plan. Good thing I did that before I wrote it and gave it to coach!

Made up my training plan after talking to Jamie. Still subject to changes from Coach:

Week 8 (110 xt)
Week 9 (120 xt)
Week 10 (120 xt)
Week 11 (120 xt)
Week 12 (96 xt)

Long run: start at 70 min. in week 3, reach 90 min. in week 5.
Workouts: start the week of July 11th, build from 3- to 5-mile tempos, possibly not hitting 5 miles until after arriving at school.
Endurance circuit: start week of June 20, w/ 1x10 minutes


Example week:

M:90, T:70, W:75, fartlek, endurance circuit, H: xt 90, F:50ez, S: 75, 4-mile tempo, endurance circuit
(360 total)

NOTE: endurance circuit takes running, and so I would know the distance I ran during endurance circuit (prob. 2 mi/week) and subtract those minutes (prob. 16) from my total.

Talked to Coach Stiles, planning on a 1600 time trial the Wednesday after next. So this Wednesday I'm going easy, this Saturday I'm doing a fartlek, next Wednesday I'm doing 2-mile tempo, rest, 5x400 starting at 5k pace and working down; and next Saturday I'm doing something like 5x600 w/ equal rest.

C • ok, if you dont' mind my as... 4

legs felt better than yesterday. Also did 4x100m strides, kind of fast.

One of those runs where everyone thought the other one was pushing the pace but we weren't. It was slightly uncomfortable, but I wasn't dying. That rest day yesterday was needed though:)

planned rest.
