Mike Brown - Training Profile

 
 
With Iroy Running wide range of products and knowledgeable
service I always find exactly what I need to be able to perform at peak levels. Weather it's putting on miles on uneven surfaces or speed training on the track, Iroy Running always set's me up with the right shoe for all my training needs.
 
Week 1 Training
After a 5 week break I'm back on the grind putting in miles. I figure that i can always get a little stronger so i've uped my running time to 30min from my normal 20. That doesn't seem like much for a miler or even an 800 meter runner, but it's more than i've done in the past and will give me that base that I need. Running and lifting at least 3x a week before official practices start will enable me to run every practice harder and therefore i'll be more prepared for when the season starts. I missed going to the trials by .04 and I won't let that happen again. Next year I'm going to Finland for the World Championships and it starts now!!
Week 2 Training
More of the same this week. 30 min runs and lifting. It's only been two weeks, but I can already notice that i'm getting bigger from lifting and my wind coming back. It's a long season ahead so I have to be careful of not overdoing it. With fall training starting in two weeks--I'll be just fine though. I'll keep going slow and steady--that is of course until i get on the track.
Week 3 Training
This week i decided to drop down from 30min runs to 25 min runs. 5 minutes doesn't seem like a big difference, but i was focusing on running at a faster pace for the shorter period of time. I feel good with fall training starting next week. It all begins with a 2 mile time trial. I'm shooting for a time under 12min. We'll see how it goes.
