The Training Progression…
Follow the progression 2-months before Thanksgiving Day. Every other week the program is modified to enhance your performance, speed, and strength (evaluate the dates below). It’s your responsibility to practice over the 2-month span. Refer to this page every 2-weeks for your modified personal workout.
The practice is done in intervals. Interval training is especially healthy before races. It helps you utilize stamina and strength when you need it most. Also, it aids in recovery.
We’ve divided the trainings into groups, so look to see what group you’d best fit in depending on your current fitness level.
Each practice should include at least a 5-minute warm-up, 5-6 cycles of the interval ratios shown below, a 5-minute cool down, and final stretches. The practice should last between 20 and 30 minutes performed 3x a week.
