A few things to note:
1.) Athletes are given the option to run a time trial this week. If you would like to do this, reach out to me and let me know what you want to race. The training plan encourages a Saturday Time Trial, but Sunday or Friday could work as well. If you do not want to time trial, make sure you do the workout on Friday. Of course, I must remind you that time-trials should be conducted on your own, not with a group.
2.) This doc includes some fairly extensive notes on the workout days. The portion titled "Instruction" should be read by everyone, and is meant to make up for the in-person advice I can not give you. The portion titled "rationale" is something that I have decided to share with anyone (athletes, parents) who is curious about the physiological reasoning behind the session. Reading/ understanding this section is not required at all, but could be interesting for anyone who wants to learn more about why we do what we do.
3.) If you are confused about the paces you should be running, please reach out to me via remind. Many of you are familiar with the paces used in this week's workouts, but I am happy to remind anyone who wants the specific numbers.
4.) Please keep in contact. I am happy to field any and all questions, especially about injuries/ adjustments.
Let's stay positive and get after it!
