Training Schedule

We train together at least five days a week, with frequent long morning runs on Saturdays. All practices are optional, but encouraged. Practices include run-outs around New Haven, track workouts (weekly), tempo runs (weekly), and strength and core workouts, and are held for the following pace groups:
  • Group 1:   9-10 min/mile
  • Group 2:   7:30-8:45 min/mile
  • Group 3:   sub 7:30 min/mile
  • Practice start times vary according to the season, starting no sooner than 4:00 PM and no later than 4:30 PM. We plan our workouts around a general weekly training schedule:
    Monday :   Tempo (3-6 miles) + core
    Tuesday :   Easy (3-7 miles)
    Wednesday :   Endurance (5-12 miles)
    Thursday :   Tempo Track Workout (3-6 miles) + core
