It's Been A While

So it's been a while since I've last updated this blog. It's not because I haven't been running, simply because I feel like I've barely had time to breathe during the past few weeks. With the indoor track season starting and recruiting going full speed ahead, I just haven't had as much free time as I would like. Hopefully things will begin to slow down a bit over the next few weeks and I'll be able to get back to regularly updating this blog.

Since the Houston Half my training has been very sporadic. I would like to be more consistent, but with my class schedule, recruiting, meets, and the increased attention I've been putting into the individual training of each of my athletes I've found myself having to cram in runs and I've had to cut a few of them shorter than I would like.

So until things slow down a bit, I'm going to back my mileage off a bit as well as my overall quality workouts. My goal is to run 50-60 mpw with a hard 7.5-mile run on Tuesdays, 800m repeats on Friday, a long run on the weekend, and 1 or 2 days of hurdle mobility plus multi-throws. I hope to maintain this through the end of February, at which time I'll begin preparation for a summer marathon.

Until next time....
