The training plan

How the season is built

Rudimentary on purpose: a handful of phases, easy to follow, easy to edit. Every practice still has a shorter and longer option, whichever phase it falls in.

  1. Base building

    Nov 23 – Dec 18

    The season starts Nov 23. Nothing’s scheduled before it. Two days in, Thanksgiving break hits; after that it’s easy conversational runs plus one loop-and-hills day a week. Hot Cocoa Night (Dec 8) and an Ugly Sweater Movie Night (Dec 19) keep December fun.

  2. Winter break

    Dec 19 – Jan 3

    No practice from before Christmas through New Year’s. Back at the Activity Center January 4th.

  3. Strength

    January

    Mileage jumps to 3 miles short / 5 miles long and tempo intervals join the mix during the coldest, darkest stretch of the season. A relay day takes over practice on Jan 13, and Sledding hits Lake Park on Jan 16.

  4. Sharpening

    February

    Same mileage as Strength, more tempo work, a second relay day (Feb 10), and the Frosty 5K Fun Run in the middle of it all: the one meet on the calendar. Team Game Night and a Pancake Breakfast bookend the month.

  5. Taper & wrap-up

    Mar 1 – Mar 8

    Mileage steps back down, short and easy again. The last practice of the season is Monday, March 8th.

  6. Banquet

    Friday, Mar 12

    Practice is over, but the team isn’t done yet. Certificates, a highlight reel, and the last chocolate milk of the season.
