When we're in full blown training mode there is a plan each week (drawn from where we are at within a larger program) and it follows a template like this:
M: roll out of bed and run ~5 miles (the "roll out of bed" part applies to all workout days - believe me!)
T: track / tempo run 6-8 miles
W: mid-week longer run
T: 5-7 miles and run strides or hill sprints at the end
F: off
S: long run
S: <run some - or not - depends how you feel>
Right now we're in a quiet stretch between the NYC Marathon just run (by Joe) and beginning a proper program for Boston. Here is what I came up with including a couple of runs with Will, another member of our training trio:
M: 4.6 miles
T: ~5 mi (warmup, 4 x 800m tempo, cooldown, "inspired" push sub-6 minute pace for final 2/3 mile to the finish)
W: 7 mi
T: 4 mi
It looks like maybe one more "wing it" week is likely. Cheers!
