Track and Field Blogs - Scott Bauhs

I am nearing the end of the biggest training block of the season and I feel great. Two weeks ago I ran my first 100 mile week of the year. I structured it like this:

Week 1: 5 am, 10 pm Monday; 15 pm Tuesday(3 mile warm up, 10 mile tempo, 2 mile cool down); 5 am, 10 pm Wednesday; 12 pm Thursday; 6 am, 12 pm Friday (workout); 10 am Saturday; 15 am Sunday

Week 2: 12 am, 6 pm Monday; 5 am, 10 pm Tuesday (workout); 6 am, 10 pm Wednesday; 6 am, 6 pm Thursday(travel), 8 am Friday; 13 am Saturday (4 mile warm up, 5 mile race, 4 mile cool down); 18 am sunday

Week 3: 6 am, 10 pm Monday; 4 am, 10 pm Tuesday (workout); 6 am, 12 pm Wednesday; and presumably 12 pm today; 4 am, 10 pm tomorrow; 10 am Saturday; 16 am Sunday

My legs are responding very well to this volume and hopefully with a taper and some good workouts I will be as ready as ever to run at the NCAA championships. The Chico teams did amazing at conference as we dominated both the men's and women's races. Hopefully we can sweep the regional meet next weekend and be ready to kill the nationals in Slippery Rock.
