Training Schedules, Route Maps, and Resources
Our club is coached by volunteers and students. Coach Nathan creates the distance training schedule and coaches at afternoon workouts. Clancy, the distance captain, runs morning distance practice. Nathan and Clancy 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. Matt, the sprints captain, runs the sprints, hurdles, and field events program year-round, including weights and conditioning. Feel free to reach out to these fellas at any time. Their information is on the Officers tab.
Below are both distance and sprints training calendars, updated each week. 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 completed at 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 week in the distance life: 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 week in the sprints-field life: 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.
