[Triumf-running] TRIUMF Running Group - Week of Dec 3, 2018

[Robert Watt]

Hi Everyone,

This week we return to the ongoing build up of your running base. Hopefully, you rested a bit last week and feel refreshed for this week.

Training this Week
Tuesday Dec 4, 2018 - long intervals
Meet at 12:00 outside the Badge Room

  *   Jog to the junction of Huckleberry and Hemlock trails
  *   Dynamic stretching
  *   Run the 1 km loop 4 or 5 times at close to 10K pace effort with 1 minute rests between each loop.
  *   Easy jog back to TRIUMF
  *   Static stretching
Thursday Dec 6,  2018 -  Tempo run
Meet at 12:00 outside the Badge Room

  *   Easy run for 10 minutes.
  *   Gradually increase your pace over the next 10 minutes to the point that you can still engage in short conversation but you are running moderately hard.
  *   At the halfway time turn direction to come back the same way.
  *   Pick up the effort a bit more until the 35 minute mark.
  *   Regroup and jog back to TRIUMF.
  *   Static stretching for everyone.

Weekend runs - The long easy run.
This week's long run should be 75 to 85 minutes long with the last 5 minutes at a harder effort. It's a good idea to take along something for hydration and energy.

Alternate run days or cross training
If you want to run more than 3 days a week, do treat the extra runs as recovery runs. You should be able to converse easily during these.
Consider doing strength training. There are many routines designed for runners. Cycling, hiking, swimming, yoga, are great cross training activities. Basically, keep as active as possible without hurting yourself.
