WEIGHT TRAINING

A number of people have asked about weights & how to fit this into their workouts. Here are my recommendations for middle distance runners.

QUESTION #1: Should I do weights?

Yes, especially 800m runners, but only if you have been shown the proper form for each exercise. If you have never done weights, please talk to me before starting a program.

QUESTION #2: Should I do the whole body? Yes, especially the trunk area.

I do everything (legs, arms, chest, abdominals, lower back, adductors, abductors) all in one session.

QUESTION #3: How often?

2 times per week. 1 time per week is counterproductive because you end up sore every week. As for 3 times (which is what I was trained to do), the latest research shows that there is not much difference between 2 and 3 times per week. Surprisingly, the additional weight session gives only minimal benefit.

QUESTION #4: When should I lift?

This is the key question. NEVER lift the day before a race. You might as well shoot yourself in the foot.  And NEVER do leg weights before track practice. You're guaranteed to strain a hamstring.  Ideally, leg weights should be done immediately after intervals, i.e. Tuesdays and Thursdays nights after practice. Yes, it makes for a long day, but it keeps with the philosophy of hard day, easy day, hard day, easy day, easy day. Moreover, lifting leg weights after intervals has additional benefits: (i) your legs are warm so you're less likely to hurt yourself, (ii) you're prevented from lifting too much 'cause your muscles are already tired and (iii) you're more efficient--- you don't dillydally because the gym is closing.  Remember that, for middle distance runnners, weights are meant to complement your running, not be a workout unto themselves.

QUESTION #5: Should I eat anything before lifting?

If you lift right after track practice, you should eat a power bar/soy bar or drink a protein shake.

QUESTION #6: What if I can't fit my whole weight routine in after practice?

Try lifting only leg weights on Tuesday & Thursday nights. And then do your upper body routine on the other days.

QUESTION #7: What if it's impossible for me to lift after practice? 

If you can't do leg weights on Tuesday & Thursday nights, I recommend the following for leg weights:

(Ideal: Tuesday & Thursday)
Ideal: Tuesday & Saturday or Sunday
Ideal: Thursday & Sunday or Saturday

Good: Sunday & Friday
Good: Sunday & Wednesday
Good: Saturday & Wednesday

Bad: Any Monday

AVOID lifting on Mondays. Your body needs one day of complete rest. Many people lift on Mondays & Wednesdays; however, that results in four days of hard workouts. By Thursday night practice you're exhausted.

QUESTION #8: How many sets of weights should I do?

At least two sets, preferably three.

QUESTION #9: How many reps? 

Like running, you need to taper your weights as you get closer to Nationals (or whatever race you are trying to peak for)

For example:

Dec. 2--Jan 31 3 x 10
Feb. 3--Feb. 23 3 x 8
Feb. 24-Mar 9 3 x 6
Mar 10-Mar 19 3 x 3

QUESTION #10: When should I increase the weight?

If you find that you can do 3 x 12, then you need to increase the weight so that you can do 3 x 10. For example, if on leg press, you can easily lift 40 pounds for 12 repetitions for 3 sets (3 x 12), you should increase to 45 pounds and work your way upto 3 x 10.  Furthermore, every time you go down in reps, you should always go up in weights. For instance, on the bench press you can lift 50 pounds for 10 repetitions for 3 sets (3 x 10). When you reduce the number of reps to 8 (3 x 8), you would increase the amount of weight to 55 pounds. At 3 x 6, you would be at 60 pounds.

NOTE: Be careful when increasing the weight. Try to increase in small increments. (Do not to make big jumps. For example, if you curl 5 pounds on each arm. Move up to 6 or 7 or 8 pounds, not 10 pounds.)

QUESTION #11: What machines should I use?

Unfortunately, I can't answer that in an email. Please ask me at practice.

QUESTION #12: What if I can't afford a gym?

NY City Parks & Recreation has weight facilities throughout the city for $25 per year. Only $25 per year and that entitles you to go to any of their facilities. Many of these also have pools. The list of facilities is in the special government pages of the phone book under "NY City Offices--NY City Parks & Recreation". There's a facility 5 blocks from the Armory at 174th & Fort Washington that's open until 10pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'll check it out next week.

QUESTION #13: What if I don't have access to a gym?

No problem. You can do many exercises at home: push-ups, walking lunges, sit-ups, crunches, back exercises. Also, you can purchase small weights from Paragon (Union Square) for a minimal cost.

These are simply suggestions, but I hope these help.

QUESTION #1: What to do if you're a little late to practice?

It's gonna happen. You're running late to practice. Even so, you still need to warm up!  

The Bare MINIMUM Warmup: 1 mile jog + 4 strides. I would rather you miss the first interval, then for you to try to "warm up" during the intervals. It's too easy to get injured without a proper warmup.

PROPER Warm UP: 1 1/2 to 2 mile jog, stretching, 4+ strides & light drills

This should become your routine before all intervals and RACES.

NOTE: for races, you may need additional stretching and/or a couple extra strides.

If possible, run the warmup jog CLOCKWISE, i.e., the opposite way you run on the track. This helps prevent injury.

QUESTION #2: What if you're just getting off work at 7pm or 7:30pm?

COME to practice! The Armory is open until 9:30pm. You can still do the workout (and I'm sure one of your middle distance teammates will be willing to time you) or, if it's Tuesday, you can run with the 8pm long distance group coached by Tony.  Any workout is better than no workout!

QUESTION #3: Why are we doing drills?

Better form = Faster times

TIP FROM Devon Sargent:  
 
FIFTH AVENUE MILE COURSE:
0--400m slight downhill
400--800m slight uphill
800--1200m almost flat
1200--1600m almost flat

Because the 1st 400m is DOWNHILL, you must be careful not go out too fast.  Better to go out too slow for the 1st 400m, then too fast. Inexperienced runners will go out like rabbits, don't get sucked in! You know your mile pace! Stick to it for the 1st 400m.

OVERALL STRATEGY:

0--400m
Get out, RELAX, let the rabbits go!  Run your own race for the 1st 400m.  (Don't worry about your position, it's the same distance from the middle of the road or the side of the road).

400--800m
Now it's time to work!  ATTACK the hill!  Start looking at your competition.

800--1200m
Forget the clock, it's time to compete!  COMPETE, COMPETE, COMPETE!  Start picking off runners one by one!  Every runner counts.

1200--1600m
Find another gear by competing. Remember those 200s & 300s you have been doing on the track?  Go after that runner in front of you!  Don't stop before the finish line---Run "through the line" (i.e., pretend the finish line is 10m farther)
 
Frequently Asked Question: What should I do if I run the 1st 400m too fast?
Do NOT slow down (slowing down doesn't work in the mile).  You've committed yourself to that pace, stick to it.  Don't panic. You still may run a PR.  Don't fight the pain---Run through it.  Only way to run through the pain is to compete, compete, compete

If you're NOT racing, warm up 1 or 2 miles, then hard steady state for 20-30 minutes and then warm down.

Workout Week of June 5 - June 11, 2001

Emphasis on speed this week so runners can have a mini-peak during the next 2 weeks:

June 9 Sat Boston High Performance
June 13 Wed Holmdel International Meet, New Jersey
June 16 Sat New England Championship (Dedham, MA)

I recommend running all 3 meets (or at least 2 of them) because the next high quality meet is not until JULY 6.

(On Tuesday, June 19th, we'll go back to longer intervals for a 2-3 week period.)
