 Welcome to Fall run training. Many of you will be looking at this page as a guide to prepare you for the Monster Dash Half Marathon or 10 Mile race which is coming up on October 30th, 2010.
We have come up with a training plan for you as well as a free, fully-supported, long training run on Sunday, October 17th.
Your Training Plan for Monster Dash
The Monster Dash half is less than 2 months away! The program below outlines a basic plan for a recreational runner (someone who runs 3-4 times per week 12-15 miles/week) whose goal is to cross the finish line with a smile. Ideally you will set aside 4 days for running per week.
During the week: Try to spread your runs out so you are not running many days back-to-back. A great schedule would be Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Monday and Wednesday runs keep to 3-4 miles each. Wednesday can be your mid distance run of 5-6 miles.
Weekend: Saturdays are reserved for your long runs. Please refer to the schedule below for your long runs each week leading up to Monster Dash 2010.
