SFTC Summer Training Program
|
|
Track workouts are good for a runner who wishes to improve their 8K and 10K race speed. Training Plan "A" uses random distances to provide your legs with a variety of challenges.
Overall you should run at least 4 times/week including one track workout, one "tempo" run, one long run (6+ miles) plus other easy runs. Workout groups will be formed based on speed. Unless noted otherwise, group meets Tuesdays 5:30pm at Dobyns-Bennett track. Bring your own refreshments.
To determine what training pace you need to reach a certain goal, try the McMillan Running Calculator
