For the runners-in-training for upcoming races…this is a Tempo Cutdown!
This is where some of you runners will have several options depending on your goals. If you have questions on where you should be feel free to email me jenni@varsityrunning.com.
OR…get through 6 weeks and decide what you might want to do.
out and back of the first 2 miles of this route
6 Miles *use bike path off Ormandy
I would recommend the newer runners stick with the 6 with the quality miles at the end
Steady run for 3 miles then cutdown the pace per mile at least 1 second in miles 3-6.
Cutdown means each mile should be faster than the one before it.
8 Miles **use bike path off Ormandy
I would recommend the 8 for the experienced runners who are not ready to move up to 10 miles yet. The quality miles at the end are important.
Steady run for 4 miles then cutdown the pace per mile at least 1 second in miles 4-8.
Cutdown means each mile should be faster than the one before it.
10-12 Miles(come early and run 2 miles for 12 Miles)
Steady run for 6 miles then cutdown the pace per mile at least 1 for the last 4 miles
Cutdown means each mile should be faster than the one before it.
Hydration for all will be at the bottoms of Kleinert at Parker.
Note the long runs pass by the stop twice.
You might want to leave water where we do on Ormandy near the bike path for late in the run.
