"Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character." - T. Alan Armstrong

Running Schedule: First 2 weeks

Here is the running schedule, or at least the first two weeks of it. We'll schedule more after we get a little feedback regarding how we like the first two weeks of it. If this type of schedule is ok, then we'll make the rest up at the close of the first 2 weeks.

Week 1:
Total: 10 miles


  • Mon: 1 mile; 4 x 1:00 PI*

  • Tue: Rest

  • Wed: easy 1/2 mile; push yourself 1 mile; easy 1/2 mile

  • Thu: Rest


  • Fri: 2-3 miles (depending on how you're feeling from the beginning of the week)


  • Sat: 3 miles

  • Sun: Rest

Week 2:
Total: 11 miles



  • Mon: 1 mile; 4 x 1:00 PI*; 1/2 mile


  • Tue: Rest


  • Wed: Perry's Hill: Alternate 5 walk/5 jog**


  • Thu: Rest


  • Fri: 3 mile


  • Sat: 4 mile


  • Sun: Rest

*PI is a pace interval. It means to jog fast (just before you need to run on your toes or a little slower) for 1 min. and then walk to recover. Repeat this as many times as is scheduled.






** Perry Griffith is Josh's friend/trainer for his soccer summer in Oregon and Josh's 1/2 marathon. There is a terrific hill in a neighborhood behind his house that Josh used to sprint up and walk down. It's located kind of near to South high school. I thought this would be a fun one for us to do together. More info to follow.
