Workouts

  • What's next for you?
         
Here's something to think about:
  • 3 minute runs with 2 minute recoveries: on the track, road, or trail. 6-8 of these for an unstructured but productive workout. Aim for even pace or go negative...get faster as you go.
  • 1000s, with a 440 m recovery. Run these faster than your goal pace for a 5K or 10K. Run between 4 and 6 of them.
  • miles with a 400m recovery at a few seconds faster than you goal pace for a 5K or 10K. Run 3-4 miles of these.
  • Alternate 800m and a mile with the 800 at a faster pace than the mile. Take a 400m recovery after the 800 and mile. Try 2 or 3 sets.

Training Plans

Looking for training plan ideas? Here are some plans that your fellow club members have had success with. As always, discuss you training approach and goals with a coach or veteran runner. HOTV Runners does not officially endorse these plans.

Here's the Corvallis Half plan some are using from the Hanson's menu of plans. You'll get the strength workouts from above and suffestions on tempo and long runs

The iconic Mac 50K plan from Biz. Not for the feint of heart. Explore this challenge.

Here's the Boston Marathon plan some are using from Rise and Run, Flanagan and Kopecky. These folks are in taper mode!

Here's a menu of plans and distances from Hal Higdon, a legend in the sport.
