Thanks for all the advice! So according to what you guys are saying I should be running around 60 miles a week up until a few weeks before state and I should keep my speed training throughout the summer. And that I should push the hard days and keep the easy days really easy. I'm thinking maybe I will build up a really strong mileage base over the summer while weightlifting and cross-training at the same time. Anyone know how to coordinate weightlifting and cross-training with mileage? I have a membership at Gold's Gym and I usually workout and play racquetball and swim laps about 3 times a week. How should I coordinate that with my workout schedule? Do I workout on hard days or easy days or on long run days or speed days? Also, since I really only mainly care about state, when should I begin changing my workouts in order to peak at state? |
