Hello high school distance runners, here’s our RunBlogRun Spring Training Guide (March-June)!
Training for Friday, April 17, 2026
Your training: Warm-up, 45-60 minutes of very easy running, followed by 6 strides of 150 meters and a recovery time. Remove wet clothing as soon as possible and change socks and shoes. Easy days are key to your development. Your body recovers from the stress of the difficult days and the easy days give your body and brain a break.
Hydration is a state of mind. Hydration isn’t about drinking lots of sugary drinks; it’s about drinking enough water, 8 to 12 8 to 12 ounce glasses a day, carrying a water bottle, and monitoring your intake of caffeine and carbonated and sugary drinks, which are absolute crap for a true athlete. Also, stay away from so-called sports energy drinks and do not combine them with alcohol. Why train hard and then ruin it by putting some junk in your mortal engine?
Do you want to be a better middle distance runner than in the past? Focus and follow our training. It’s all about consistency.
