Connecticut College XC Summer Training Week #1 6/18-6/24

Week #1 June 18th - 24th

The running year of 2017 was less than ideal starting junior spring with a bilateral achilles injury, progressing to foot and arch pain, and rounding out with pretty bad shin-splints. Due to these unfortunate injuries my training hasn't been up to par. This summer I'll aim to train efficiently while paying close attention to my achilles and shins. Coach Luke has given me a good amount of cross training to do on top of my weekly milage. I'm planning to split these sessions up between biking, swimming, and aqua jogging. Let's get it going.

Monday - June 18th 2018 - Week #1 3.84 miles - 8:00 pace Weather: Raining and Humid Tempature: 78° Wind: 9mph Summary: Matt Bonner, Jack Lynch, Simon Herron, Daniel Bandler, Daniel Frost, and I met at the Garipay Fields around 3:30pm. Although it was humid and rainy we set off towards the practice golf course, crossed the road, and ran through Pine Park. I originally planned to run 3 miles today to ease into training, but since some of us left our shirts near the mouth of the Pine Park trail and we planned on doing strides at Garipay we ended up running 3.84 miles instead. I think the extra mileage will only help prepare us for the mileage boost in the coming weeks. After the run we did four quick strides at Garipay and headed over to the Mini Co-op for a snack. Body: I felt surprisingly fluid for not doing any dedicated running for two weeks. Most of the outdoor track season my stride and form did not feel very smooth, but after this recent break I feel my old rythmic pace...
