Getting Faster

Well about 6 weeks to go until Rock n Roll so many of you are on the track finishing up with your training over a pretty wet spring, which I'm sure will make you all  that much stronger come race day. This also means that you'll be on the track finishing up you training with a little speed.  Try to make the most of these workouts and if you want to maximize them try not to miss any. If you can't make the group try to do it on your own. If you can't find a track let me know and I can give you a workout for the road that'll pretty much equal your track workout.

Soon they will be tearing up the track to put in a new soccer field so we'll have to make arraingments for Tuesday nights as far as were we'll meet for the workouts. I'm already cooking up some new workouts for us that I'm sure you'll find interesting as we won't be using the track for them but will for sure get the job done and like said they'll be different so might be kind of nice for those who have been with the group for awhile.

For those of you who have just run a marathon or half as always I encourage you to run some of the shorter races and work on your speed before you jump back into a mararthon training plan. You have a nice base built from your training over the winter now let's see if you can't get faster by doing some faster running. There is a 5 or 10k's pretty much every week now that we're heading into summer and the nice thing about running the shorter races is that it only takes a couple of days to recover so you can run a few in a season be able to bounce back do it again.

I always like training for a fall marathon because I was able to race the shorter stuff during the spring and early summer and once I stated training for the fall race I still had the speed so was able to do that training a little faster as well.

So if you decide to heed my advice and train for some of the shorter races I would probably jump in with those that are finishing up their trraining for Rock n Roll and get some more track work in and get FAST!!!.
