Racing Shorter and Next Year
Well December is upon us and the holidays are in full swing with the new year looming. The are few nice shorter races coming up , Jingle bell 5k, the Christmas Rush and the 12 k's of Christmas. You'll have a chance to use your strength that you developed over the summer and fall, so I would focus on some shorter speed work over the next few weeks to help you sharpen up and get some PR's over the shorter distances. If you're feeling tired from your year this is a great time to just chill out a bit and enjoy some light running before the new year starts and it's time for more racing.
Whether you're racing or "chilling out" it's a great time to start thinking about next year and your goals for it. What I like to do is sit down with a calendar and pick some races that I might want to run, write them on it and then start roughing up a training plan for them, this way I have an idea of where I want to be during different time of the year. It helps me focus on my goals. If you need help with this let me know.
It may seem like a long way until next year but it's only about 4 weeks away so if you're training for a spring marathon you might want to look at the training plans for them to see where you are and where you want to be. A lot of them are well underway. Make sure though if you have run a marathon recently that you allow yourself some recovery time, you don't want to get burnt out or more importantly injured.
Although most of you are done with racing the longer stuff this there are still some with races to conquer. Paul Bresson will be running in California this weekend at the California International Marathon and next weekend the water stop Czar Glen, Ms. Burt and the Peterman's (carol and david ) will be headed to sunnier climes in Hawaii at the Honolulu Mararhon. Unfortunately I will be going the other direction to Ohio for USATF National Cross Country Club Champs. You guys want to trade? Good luck to you all.
