2026 Spring Middle Distance Training (800m-5,000m), Sunday, April 26, 2026, Week 6, Day 7, Sunday is a long day!

Workout for Sunday, April 26, 2026

Your Sunday workout: 75-95 minutes of moderate running, with a 10-12 minute hill climb or a series of hills in the middle of the run. Keep the pace moderate, and stay focused, cooldown, stretch the big muscle groups.

Hydration is a state of mind. Hydration is not about drinking lots of sugary drinks; it is about getting enough water, 8-12 glasses of 8-12 oz a day, carrying a water bottle, and managing caffeine intake and carbonated sugar drinks, which are absolute crap for a real athlete. Also, stay away from the so-called sports energy drinks and do not combine them with alcohol. Why train your butt off and then mess it up by putting some junk in your mortal engine?

Think before you drink.
