Split Squad

We need to drink more water today than we usually drink. We need to drink so much water it becomes annoying how many times we have to go to the bathroom. We are ramping up our physical output at the same time the heat and humidity are rising.

The big group did a core workout this morning. We ran strides in between repetitions of mostly abdomen exercise. We have been taking it easy on the grass(not running on it) for a few days now. We hope to get back on the field tomorrow.

The smaller group ran 3X1 mile @ 10K race pace. This was a continuation of yesterdays "race simulation". We ran one on the track(simulates start), one from the 3 mile mark to the 4 mile mark ( up "cardiac hill"), then ran the final mile on the track (simulates finish). We worked on pace recognition. The idea is to get to know and become comfortable with a pace that can be sustained over 3 to 6 miles. This workout concluded the HARD portion of this weeks training. The rest of the week will be in preparation of Saturdays 4 mile race at Turner Field.
