Kickoff Meeting

 Here are all the bullet points we discussed today:

  • Summer Objectives
    • Conditioning - Build a strong base for racing season
    • Multiple locations and terrain
    • Have fun 

  • Training Philosophy
    •  Training Calendar - is the bible.  This will always let you know where we are.  I won't change it often, but it's always good to check the night before to make sure.
    • 20-30m/week to Start
    • 40-50m/week by end of season
    • Tuesdays are 100% optional.  Another good day to rest in the early season if you are fatigued.  I'll always be running a circuit workout at the track with Core Exercises.
    • Thursdays are on your own.  If you are feeling fatigued, just don't run.  If you are feeling good it should be an easy short day
    • Friday and Saturday combination are key
      • Friday long and flat potentially with tempo
      • Saturday Mueller or other trail with climbing
        • Breakfast when feasible
