This is your long run day.
Your workout:
Warm up slowly,
75-90 minutes of running for juniors and seniors and 65-70 minutes for freshmen and sophomores.
Hydrate,
Cooldown,
get out of wet clothes,
Recover,
Larry’s Deep Thoughts: Long runs should be done all year long, building up from 60 minutes or so to 90 minutes, then alternating, 90-75-65, and rebuilding back up to 90 minutes. Keep the pace moderate, and add some hills in the course. Hills, in the long run, add to the stress of the workout and also build strength, endurance, and confidence.
