Training Schedules, Route Maps, and Resources
Our club is coached by volunteers and students. Community volunteers Nathan and Jillian create the distance training schedule and coach at afternoon workouts, while sprints captain Liam leads the sprints team daily, including weights and conditioning. Volunteer Luigi helps at workouts and events, and TA Clancy supports behind-the-scenes operations. Nathan and Jillian can help athletes develop a progressive training plan for any distance event, and are familiar with incorporating cross-training regimens and accommodating physical therapy or injury.
Below are both distance and sprints training calendars, updated when applicable. Since Nathan adjusts workouts day-by-day, the exact details of the workout or the workout itself may not be posted on the calendar in advance. The most detailed notes are sent via Slack and communicated in person at practice. Workouts are always subject to change. It's encouraged that you do workouts on the days listed to stay on track, no pun intended.... For distance, by clicking on each workout title, you will see a description of that specific workout and how it should be completed, and you can add the calendar to your personal Google calendar by clicking on the workout and selecting the "copy to my calendar" option (use UC Davis email to view and access the calendar). For sprints, toggle between the workout calendar and the strength program using the spreadsheet tabs at the bottom. Drills for both distance and sprints will be organized at practice, though you can complete any training you wish outside of practice. In addition to the schedules, the coaches have compiled resources in the right-hand tab to help with running technique, recovery, injury prevention, and training science, as well as a few of our regular "maintenance run" routes at the page bottom, for your reference.
A distance runner's week: while we have athletes with all kinds of backgrounds and goals, a typical training week in-season would consist of 2-3 maintenance runs spread across Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday; workouts on Tuesday and Friday (or just 1 of those days, depending on your mileage); and a long run on Sunday.
A sprinter's week: while we have athletes with all kinds of backgrounds and goals, a typical training week in-season would consist of 2-3 power workouts spread across Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday; weights-strength on Tuesday and Friday (or just 1 of those days, depending on your mileage); and a day or two of short aerobic runs during the week and on Sunday.
