2011 Plan Redux

After digging out from the recent winter weather onslaught and getting a good start on the new semester I'm ready to get down to business. The watch words for the next few months are speed and strength. I'm going to focus on interval days, weights with only enough distance to keep my stamina up. Hopefully all this will translate to a 5K PR at the end of April.

The Plan:

• Three to five days lifting weights with at least two of those days prioritizing lower body strength.
• Two sets of intervals (half mile or longer) a week. I'm going to start at a 6:30-6:50/mile pace and adjust as necessary.
• One long day (ten or so miles) at a moderate pace
•  One mixed/tempo run

By the time I'm done I hope I can actually move a little bit. We'll see.
