Some people have the need to always go to the top, but makes for a 8+ mile run on snowshoes, and that's just a good way to get injured if you don't work up to it, so I take it in steps. If there is any snow when I get back from nationals in 10 days, I'll probably go all the way up, but no more snowshoe running for me before nationals.
It's pretty easy on the legs, but it's not resting them.
Outdoor track here is covered with snow again, so tomorrow I'm going to do my workout on the roads. Goal of the day is goal 1500 meter pace. So I'm going to start with 800 meters in around about 2:21. Then a 400 in about 70 seconds, and a 300 in about 53 seconds. Probably do 2-4 x 200 a bit quicker after.
Sunday and Monday will be easy runs. Tuesday a short workout at goal 800 meter pace. Going to start with 400 at 65, then 2-4 x 200 going 32,31,30,29.
Wednesday and Thursday will be easy and then I race the 3000 Friday night at 6:45pm, the 1500 at about 4pm on Saturday, and the 800 about noon time on Sunday.
After that I'll take 3 days easy before transitioning into 5-k/10-k training. Although I may do a longer tempo effort first with a 15-k coming up on March 31st.
