Description
This 5 Week plus 1-Day training program is sport-specifically designed to improve 2-Mile Run Performance. You’ll train 6 days/week.
This training program has 3 general objectives:
- Increase speed over ground
- Increase running-specific leg strength, core strength, and upper body strength
- Increase running aerobic base and efficiency for longer distance runs
This training plan deploys 2-Mile run assessments and uses assessment performance for the follow-on progressions. In this way, the plan automatically “scales” to the incoming running fitness and speed of each individual athlete.
Assessment-Based, Speed over Ground and Aerobic Base Work
This training program is assessment based – and the hard, short running intervals (speed over ground) and distance run (aerobic base) paces prescribed throughout the plan are based on your most recent 2-mile assessment. You’ll run 2 miles for time four times throughout this plan – the first day of Weeks 1, 3, 5 and 6. These assessment times will be used to prescribe paces for the following interval and distance runs.
You’ll run two distances of hard intervals: 800m and 1-Mile repeats. Your long distance runs will increase from 4 to 6 miles. The paces for your fast interval work and easy distance work will be based on your most recent 2-Mile assessment and the MTI Running Calculator.
You’ll run intervals 2-3 times per week, and complete an easy distance run one time per week.
Strength Work
This training plan includes focused, running-specific leg, mid-section, and upper body strength training deploying bodyweight strength exercises. You’ll train strength twice each week.
