Pax,
We are 130 days out from BRR 2016!

What does that mean? You should be building your base miles and starting to think about your training plan.

Your base should include a few consistent runs a week, 4-6 miles in distance, stretching and core work. All of which will pay dividends in your training.

Your BBR specific training should start in about 1 month, in June, which gives you 14 weeks or so of solid training and some taper at the end.

What should your plan consist of?
– 3-4 runs per week
– at least one speed workout (tempo, fartlek, hill repeats)
– one LSD (long slow distance) customize this so that you build up week to week and you exceed your longest BRR leg, no need to be running more than a half marathon though
– hills, hills, and hills, you are running in the mountains, need i say more
– a few, not too many, double/triple downs
– Crowders Mountain runs
– Sat June 25
– Sat July 23
– Sat Aug 20

Fort running specific workouts:
– Monday, Flight Plan
– Tuesday, Swift (SOB Land) great speed workout
– Wednesday, Clydesdales
– Wednesday evening, Run-n-Gun
– Thursday, Laces Out (will begin speed work)
– Thursday, Tempo (Tega Cay)

Rock Hill:
– Sunday, Hills of Gloom

Feel free to tweet out other running options, lots of guys looking for miles these next 4 months!

Please consider adding stretching into your daily routine, the occasional yoga doesn’t hurt either.

Recommend investing in a foam roller or stick roller, use liberally!

Will consider other running/stretching clinics.

More to come.

See you in the gloom.
