If you have been running this summer so far, we want to start paying a little closer attention to the mileage numbers, since we want to see those start climbing. Top group should be around 40-50miles, while newer runners should still be in the 20-30 range. Even some of the experienced runners, who are coming out of other stuff like basketball and all that, might be around 30-40, but only if they have been logging some decent mileage the past couple of weeks.
Take a look at the Weekly Mileage chart...there are a lot of gaps there, where folks have either not been running, or have not been turning in their logs for mileage checks. Either one is concerning. We need to be consistent with what we are doing. We are now five weeks in, and just 13 away from WIC.

VO2 day: Today depends on what you have done already.
If you have not done a 2mi. Time Trial yet, you will today. Establish new training marks for camp.
If you have already done one, you will do 3x1mile AT
THAT 2mi pace. Do not run this too fast. Do it AT THE 2mi pace.

3-5 mi PPM. or find a 5K to enter For the PPM, it should be 3-5 miles at threshold pace (Chart for paces is here. The LT runs should be at 85% of your VO2 max pace). Find your 2mi time, then go over to the 85% column, that should be your target pace for LT runs. New runners should shoot for 3miles, veterans should shoot for 5.
25-30 min run after (3mi)
