My initial plan was to devote six weeks to training for the
mile race.Not necessary.I only need four weeks.So, the month of June will simply be Base
miles – Easy and Marathon Pace miles – no faster probably.Again – no need.It’s about building Base for the mile race
and for the upcoming Marathon.
July will be devoted to training for the (2) one mile
races.
7/27/13
is the Greenville Mile Race in Norwich, CT
– road race.
8/3/13 is
another one mile race on a track.
The Mile Race Prep will consist of 800s, 600s, 400s, 200s,
100s at mile race pace and faster with recovery periods sometimes being slower
depending on the distance.
Time trials to be done which will include: 1200s, 1000s, and
800s (at mile race pace or faster) with various faster workouts following the
time trials.
Miles at 5K pace and hill work as well for the mile race
prep.
I will also run 100 and 200 meter strides and also some all
out running at faster than mile race pace.
That is pretty much it for the specific mile race prep.I’ll run these workouts on Tues, Thurs, and
Saturday.I likely will run 5 milers
Mon, Wed, and Friday.I will do Long
runs on Sunday although not the “traditional” Long run distance – maybe for
July anywhere from 8-13 miles.I’ll
think about that a bit more.
