And just
like that, it’s Monday again!
Shout out to all of you who made it out
in the crazy, windy weather we had this weekend!
Since those running the Syracuse Half
on Sunday are in taper, we are all doing a taper workout, tomorrow. Plan to meet
in the LMS Complex parking lot (off Hickory St. in Liverpool) at 5:45pm. The real feel temperature appears to
be in the single digits, again with some wind gusts, so dress accordingly.
In case you did not see my post in our
Facebook group, after tomorrow’s workout, we’re
going to head over to Double Cheese to
celebrate everyone’s hard work and dedication during the winter’s tough
training cycle. It’s also our chance to wish Liz
and Cindy some luck as they get ready to run the Syracuse Half’s new
route on Sunday.
You can find tomorrow’s newly
formatted taper workout below along with a screenshot of how I programmed the
workout in Garmin Connect.
Tuesday Taper Workout
(3.17.26):
Warmup: at least 10 min Easy Effort
w/dynamic exercises
6 times:
4 min Moderate Effort
1 min Race Pace
Cooldown: at least 10 min Easy Effort
We’re shaking things up a little!
Instead of running strides, we are essentially running for 30 minutes at a moderate
effort with a hard, race pace push every fifth minute.
Please do your best to run your
efforts appropriately, with as little walking as possible…. Especially if you
are not specifically tapering for Sunday’s race 😊
LOOKING AHEAD:
Saturday
(3/21): Meet at LMS
Complex (entrance off Hickory St.) at 8:30am
for our long training run:
Syracuse
Half: 30 min shakeout
Mountain
Goat: 6 to 7 miles
Earth
Day Half: 10-11 miles
Tuesday
(3/24): Meet at LMS Complex (entrance
off Hickory St.) at 5:45pm for our workout.
Do the things today and tomorrow:
hydrate and fuel your body with the appropriate nutrients that will allow you
to do and feel your best!
Have a fabulous day and I cannot wait
to see you tomorrow for our workout.
Coach Kristen
