As always, work-outs start at 6:00; be early to warm-up by jogging 1 to 8 laps. Stretch. Start each work-out with 4 x 100M strides to loosen up. After the summer racing season, in Nov through Feb we ramp up interval lengths until in January and February, they total three miles on Monday and four miles on Wednesday. Intervals are longer, slower paced and have shorter recoveries. As the weather warms in March/April, we begin to shorten distances and start to focus on speed. In the hot summer months the speed focus is through short intervals and long recoveries. In September/October we continue to focus on speed with long recovery times, but individual interval lengths will be longer.
