June- July Workouts

Syracuse Cross Country - 2007

ITEMS OF IMPORTANCE
Remember to e-mail your workout logs each Sunday to: rbuhrley@dsdmail.net
If you don’t have access to e-mail, just bring a copy of your workout log to the Monday practices or get our addresses so you can mail them to us.
The workouts listed are for those who have been following the first three weeks of workouts as handed out in May. If you are just starting up now, follow the original (first three weeks) of the workout schedule.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO COMPLETE THE WORKOUTS AS LISTED AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE.
All "TR’s" should be run at your VDOT training level pace as listed on Tables 3.1 and 3.2 (E/L Pace column). Don’t worry if you don’t know how to figure it out yet.
Following a regular lifting/strength training program can greatly enhance your success in the fall. We will open the weight room after our scheduled TEAM workouts on Mondays and Thursdays.

DON’T NEGLECT THE AB’S. Easy to do while watching TV, reading, etc.
Mountain Land Physical Therapy will be providing physicals to student athletes, probably July 19th. The cost is only $15 and the money will be donated back to the school. I’ll let you know on the date when it is finalized.

The High Altitude Camp will be held July 30th through August 3rd at Marsh Lake in the Uintahs. The $40 deposit and initial permission slip is due July 12th. The remainder of the $80 fee plus waiver and either a Physical or "B" Form is due on July 23rd.
Call anytime if you have questions concerning your workouts. (775-0122 or 510-0140)

WORKOUT TERMS USED
TR= Training Run - This just means running at a fairly constant pace (check out Tables 3.1 and 3.2 to see what your pace should be- use E/L column) which is not so hard it will have you wheezing, gasping, etc. Generally your heartrate should reach the 160-180 range during these runs. (It may be higher if it is hot.) These are your longest runs in terms of distance, although some TR’s may be longer, but not as intense.
FR= Fartlek Run - This literally means "speed play". It this type of workout you should vary your pace, terrain, etc. When done properly, it is as hard of a workout as you will have. Hilly trails, parks, etc. are good places for these workouts, although the roads will do.
TemR= Tempo Run - This is a shorter run at a hard pace. Check Table 3.2 for you "T" Pace. Your heartrate should get up into the 180-200 range for these workouts.
TrR= Trail Run - Use a variety of terrain, but be careful- watch out for turned ankles, rattlesnakes, etc. The pace should be about the same as your Training Runs.
Strides= 5-6 x 20-30 second runs at "fast and relaxed" pace using quick turnover. Concentrate on good running form. DO NOT SPRINT.

There are three workouts listed for each day. The first one is for athletes who have at least one year of distance experience and are at a relatively high fitness level. The second is for runners with some recent running/soccer background and a moderate fitness level. The third workout listed is for those with little or no distance running background. All of these workouts are for those who have completed the first three weeks of the training cycle.
