Weekend Update – August 24 – 25, 2024

Hello Team,

Tomorrow marks our self-led workout day as I will be out of town. Please ensure you follow your respective workout plans. Here’s an outline for Saturday and Sunday to help you prepare:

Saturday:

  • Olympic and 70.3: 50 miles followed by a 4-mile run
  • Full / Uñtra: 80-100 miles followed by a 6-mile run

When planning your nutrition, consider the timing and intensity of your workouts. To optimize performance and recovery, aim to consume a balanced meal rich in carbohydrates and protein 1-2 hours before exercising. Post-workout, refuel with a protein-rich snack or meal within 30 minutes to support muscle recovery. Staying hydrated throughout is also key to maximizing your results.

Sunday:

  • Short Distance: 8-10 miles with the last 2 miles broken into 800-meter repeats at race pace effort, including 90 seconds of recovery in between.
  • Half Marathon: 10-12 miles with a fast finish over the last 3 miles.
  • Full Marathon: 14-16 miles, where the last five miles should be split into 2 x 2-mile tempo runs with 90 seconds of recovery.

Make sure to stay hydrated and consider incorporating carbohydrates and electrolytes to support your endurance.

Best,

Coach Torres
