Games in the Steeple.
Questions:
One of the big goals for the upcoming year is to make the US
national team for the 2000 Olympics. Realistically, I would like to
have a strong showing in the US trials. Win NCAA's in the steeple.
Make All-American in Cross Country.
I'm trying to run a few more miles to add to my base but it is
really hard with the collegiate schedule. I want to improve the
intensity of my hard workout days.
One of my favorite workouts is 2 sets of 8x300 with 4 minutes
between sets and 30 sec rest in-between. During that 30 sec you must
jog 100 meters. It makes you really concentrate like long intervals
but you get some decent speed at the same time.
I also like this workout we do in cross country where we run a 2
mile then rest 14 minutes then run another mile. (8:56/4:09)
I have a pretty strong work ethic. I feel like if I work harder
and smarter than everyone else I will win. I also believe that there
is a point where you can work too hard. I think I have the ability
to race smarter than most guys.
My training philosophy is pretty normal hard on the hard days,
easy on the easy days. One long run a week, and two to three hard
workouts mixed in there.
am pm
s 1 1/2 hr to 2 hr long run
m 3 intervals or
threshold run
t 3 9
w 3 intervals
t 3 9
f 9
s race or
intervals
At the same time, after long runs 6-8 stride outs and hurdle
drills 2-3 times/week
This is different in Cross season, we run a 10 mile threshold run
on Tues. and sat, a hard hilly 8 miler on Thurs., and long on sun.
Then we move into the before stated phase of training after about
6-8 weeks of base work. I believe in the pyramid type training with
a big base and tapering for competition.
My advice: if it hurts when you run, don't
run!
