You still need to slowly build your mileage in the summer. The fartlek above can easily be modified to 3 minutes on, 2 minutes steady as the season draws near, giving you even more experience running at 5K pace, yet not so much that you’ll run well early, then fade at the end of the season. You can’t just go and run 5,000m hard and expect your lower legs to be healthy if you’ve done no running at that pace leading up to your first race. You do this by doing general strength and mobility and active isolated flexibility, but you also do it by running race pace during the summer. You need your chassis, bones, muscles and tendons to be strong enough to handle that engine. Think of your aerobic system, your heart and lungs, as a car engine. Too many runners get injured in the first few weeks of practice because they’re thrown into a race and their legs can’t handle the pace that their heart and lungs can. In this version, you’re only running 2 minutes at that speed, which isn’t so much that you'll jeopardize running well at the end of the season, and you also get the benefit of starting to teach your legs 5K pace. Eventually you can speed up the 2 minutes “on” portion to 5K race pace. Let’s say you're doing a fartlek of 2 minutes “on” (threshold pace), 3 minutes “off” (steady pace, faster than you do your long runs but slower than threshold). I like fartlek workouts for a couple of reasons. Workouts are fine as long as they’re aerobic and controlled. How Do Fartlek, Tempo, and Interval Runs Differ?Ī big misconception about the summer is that you shouldn’t do workouts.
Yes, the summer is about slowly building up your mileage and slowly increasing the intensity of the workouts as you get closer to the start of school, but your neuromuscular system should be challenged every few days. I’m not advocating that you do specific track workouts during the foundation training of the summer (e.g., 8 x 400m or 4 x 800m or 5 x 200m as hard as you can), but I am suggesting that the “leg speed” you have in track shouldn’t go away in the summer. In terms of neuromuscular fitness, you can look at the 800m, 1600m, and 32000m times you ran in the spring and say, “My legs should still be able to run strides at those paces this summer, and that would be good for me because I would be doing strides faster than my 5K pace.” If you ran 5 x 150-200 meters, two or three times a week during the track season, then you should be doing the same thing the first day of your summer training. But once you start back, you can probably train at a volume similar to what you were doing in track. I’m not saying not to take some time off-I believe high school athletes should take off at least two weeks after their outdoor track season ends and just have fun being active (bike rides, Ultimate Frisbee, golf, whatever). Ticket to Ride is a fantastic family game because it is easy to learn, plays fairly quickly, and appeals to players of all ages – both kids and adults will have fun trying to become the next railroad baron… All things considered, Ticket to Ride is definitely the top game of 2004 for families and casual gamers alike.One of the biggest mistakes high school athletes make in their summer training is starting from ground zero, rather than viewing it as a continuation of the outdoor season. I feel safe in saying that Ticket to Ride is an absolutely superb game and is highly recommended. Game play is very tight, and I found that game scores can run very close – making for an exciting game, all the way down to the finish. The components are superb, the artwork is great, the game is downright fun (and nasty sometimes), and the total package is a very strong contender for the Spiel des Jahres 2004 It’s a fantastic medium-weight game – one that plays equally well with two to five players. Once you play this game, you’ll never play TransAmerica again. An original copy of Ticket to Ride is required to play.
