PLAN

What is your running plan?

Although one of the primary goals of NorCal CFE is to create running speed, strength, and endurance, I'm equally focused on creating a more intelligent and strategic runner.  

Every NorCal CFE athlete runs with a plan...for every workout...for every interval.  As an example, the NorCal CFE athletes have learned how to race 400 meters by attacking those first 5 steps, then settle into a pace that's 2 seconds slower than your 200m PR time by the 50 meter mark, then maintain that same pace for the next 150 meters, then drive the final turn hard (knowing this is where everyone quits because you're now anaerobic), and finally push that final straight to the finish.   

Question:  Where is your vision as you reach that final 100 meters?  

Tomorrow we will be focusing on the shuttle sprint.  Yes - we will focus on technique and developing a plan for the fastest results.

Intermediate Running Distance
2 x 300, 1 x 400, 3 x 200 at your 800 goal pace
Walking 200m rest between intervals

Long Running Distance
4 x 300, 2 x 400, 3 x 200 at your 800 goal pace
Walking 200m rest between intervals
