RunBlogRun provides daily cross-country training to 16,000 high school coaches and 550,000 high school boys and girls. The program is called the 2022 RunBlogRun Fall Cross Country Training & Racing Program. RunBlogRun began this in 2006, and we have published cross country training online since 1998 at American Track & Field. This is week one, day 4.
Everyone looks at Eliud Kipchoge and athletes like him, and go, gosh, he sure makes it look easy. Eliud Kipchoge has worked his butt off. Eliud has tons of talent, but he also works very smart and very hard. He also knows how to unwind and recover. He takes away distractions, and he focuses on the task at hand.
Kipchoge has found a system that works for him, and with the help of his coach, he stays focused. Do not miss his big event, BMW Berlin Marathon, on 25 September 2022.
Today’s workout, for Thursday, September 1, 2022, is a hill day. Warm up, find a hilly mile loop with 4 hills and run it at a good pace, charging up the hills, run an easy five minutes after and repeat this two more times, finish with 4 x 150-meter stride outs, then cool down.
