12/9 to 12/15 Training Key Workout Suggestions

Final Woburn Track Workout of 2025

Simple tune-up designed for those racing in Melrose this weekend. Bring a headlamp!

If not racing, the basic mission this time of year is to get in lots of easy, enjoyable running, cross-training and strength training. If you’ve raced a lot in 2025, it’s truly important to give both your brain and a body a break and recharge for the next year.

I’ll be posting news about 2026 training plan options later this week. Marathon, half-marathon, 5k/10k plans and plans for those new to running who simply want to build a strong habit.

If interested in a Boston marathon training plan (which can be modified for a diffeerent spring marathon), let me know at tjmurphywriter@gmail.com.
