Workouts

Weeks of 3/13, 3/20, 3/27 CORVALLIS HALF!!
 Many are pushing toward the Corvallis Half and here's what's on tap  (full plan, see below)
  • It's still strength building time...lots of longer and steadier repeats. These are run at about 10-15 seconds per mile faster than race pace...NOT 5K or 10K pace.
  • The goal is to build toward variations of 6 miles at this slightly sub-race pace tempo.
    week of 3/13....
      2 time 3 miles
    week of 3/20 ....
         3 times 2 miles with 3-5 min rest
    week of 3/27, it'll be....
         3 or 4 times 1.5 miles with 3-5 min rest
  • Don't want that regimen ? Not building for the half marathon distance? Try this:
    1200, 800, 400, 200 with 200 walk/jog rest.
    2 X, with 400 jog between sets.
  • Don't forget to warm-up, do some drills and strides, and cool down after.

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.

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