Hello, high school distance runners, and here’s our Spring Training Guide (March-June) from RunBlogRun!
Workout for Saturday, April 4, 2026
Your race day: warm-up, 6 x 150-meter stride-outs, races from 800m to 5k, might consider a 4x400m relay pick up team, 30 minutes of easy running, cooldown.
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?
Do you want to be a better middle-distance runner than you were in the past? Focus and follow our training. It is all about the consistency.
