It seems like they are doing controlled burns in the area every other day. I am tired of seeing smoke everywhere and breathing it while running. It seems like they are just burning the entire forest for some reason.

If she is used to 20 mile weeks on 5 days, I would slowly increase the weekly mileage and change to running 7 days a week over the next couple months. Probably end this track season around 25-28 weekly miles.

I would stick to body weight for strength training. Squats, lunges, box jumps, different plyometric jumps & skips. I would do it on the same days as the core workouts once or twice a week.

Everything else is very similar to what I have my runners do. I have a 7th grader at 2:39, 5:50, 12:39 and a 6th grader at 2:52, 6:00. I have barely introduced strength training to them yet. They are both averaging 20-25 miles per week this season.

2:34 & 5:42 in 8th grade is pretty solid. I would trust the coach if he says yes or no to mileage increases or additional strength training.

27.56% in 1 day. Wow

Since this thread was started:

SNDK up around 106%
WDC up around 39%
STX up around 11%

MU up around 55%

Up to 80 pre-market

8 miles is definitely a reasonable long run for 5k training. Question is, has the runner properly ramped up mileage over time.

I generally recommend increasing mileage 3-5 miles each week, with an easier week every 4th week. And increasing peak mileage by not more than 15-20 miles each year. (15 in most cases).

Long run should generally be between 20-30% of weekly mileage.

I focus mostly on 5k training, my long run would usually be between 14-18 miles when I am at peak mileage of 70-80+ miles per week.

I wouldn’t be concerned with weekly 8 mile long runs if the runner has previously ran around 25 miles per week.

Yes, ran in college.

Moving time 2:32:07, elapsed time 2:32:26. Paused at 0.04 mile because I started running before I took off my shirt and paused to walk around a water/mud puddle

Did not have any issues. I haven’t taken gels mid long run before. Heart rate was towards the bottom of zone 2, wasn’t running hard, did not feel like I needed any carbs/energy. I would have drank water last 3-4 miles but I don’t carry any with me. Was’t bad though, no dehydration symptoms. I usually get 150-200oz of water per day so I rarely have hydration issues. Temperature and humidity were both good so that helped.

I didn’t see any news. Do you know why it spiked?
