Winter Training
So I thought I would share how my winter training has been going. After clubs I took a couple of days off. (the after party hurt a little) The week of the 10th I ran basic mileage. On the 14th Sean Bowman administered a vO2 max test at ISU before I left for break. My current vO2 is 63.2 I was pretty happy with that. It was my first test and it was a little harder than I thought it would be. I did not realize that you have to have your nose plugged. I believe that was the hardest part. We are going to do another one in a couple months to see how I improve. I wish I could have done one early in college to track my improvement So far this week I have got back into more consistent training. Tuesday I did a 5 mile tempo in the middle of a 10 mile run. I just finished a short workout on the track (with Kurt Heimann) We ran 6x400 with 90 sec rest. I ave 63.7, while Kurt ave 62.1, we left the trainers on due to some snow that we could not scrap off. I am going to do mileage the rest of the week and will end up with about 65 this week. I'll be back soon.
What race are you training for Justin?
ReplyDeleteI am just training of the upcoming indoor and outdoor season. I have not decided if I will run USATF Cross Country Championships next month. I think I better make up my mind on that soon.
