by Larry EderThis is an easy day. Wednesday is a light day on the training cycle. Stay with the program, do some core work (simple additions: push ups, bent leg sit ups, pull ups, jumping rope). Upper class athletes in hs and college might consider AM runs on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. HS could go 30 minutes, college could go 45 minutes. Stay safe.
