2025 Winter Indoor Racing/Training Program, February 24, 2025, week 8, day 1, eighth week of year, building mileage, it’s Monday!!

The road to 2025 racing has just begun!

Welcome back from the break!

We will give you seven weeks of good mileage and begin building into the Spring 2025 season.

Our program is for 800m to 5,000m.

This is week seven of the Winter Indoor Racing/Training Program

During the winter, I suggest building mileage, and some hill work, and running some short races (800m-3k) for

Some weekly speed work.

Today is  February 24, 2025

Today is the first day of your eighth week of mileage.

Warm up well, 60 minute run, moderate to easy pace, cooldown

Always hydrate.

Make plans for your spring. Write down your goals for the season on your iPhone, iPad, or postcard, and read them daily. Dreams are fulfilled through hard work!

Winter Training, Some Thoughts

Want to know how much you will improve in 2025?

If you commit to cross country in the fall and follow our Winter training for eight weeks, your spring season will start with a fitter you.

We suggest two pairs of training shoes if you can afford them, stretch before and after your workouts, do hard days, and get some

focus.

You are becoming fitter and fitter each and every day!

Other book suggestions include Self Made Olympian by Ron Daws, A Clean Pair of Heels by Murray Halberg, and Pre! by Tom Jordan.
