Fall Session – Workout #1 – 9/1/10

Hi Folks,

Time to start up another session.   Anyone signing up at the track tomorrow night should try to arrive a little earlier.

Here are the various workouts planned the first night fall session RAIN OR SHINE:

Walk/Run – 5:45PM – walk 90secs,  jog 30secs, repeat 15 times for a total of 30mins.

Basic Running – 5:45PM – 10-15min  very easy jogging warm-up, then a series of “pick-ups” with recovery/re-grouping periods that are generally equal in duration to the duration of the pick-up.  Workout will end with ~10min cool-down jog.  Most of the workout will likely take place at the Jr High until the new track is ready.  For now…meet at the track…or what’s left of it…until you hear otherwise.

Running & Racing – 6:00PM – ~15mins easy jog around high school grounds, end up at Jr High, then pick-ups of 2,2,4,2,2,4,2,2min w/~90sec walk/jog recovery/re-grouping periods, then cool-down jog.

Try to relax the first night…

Good luck!!!

Fall Session Starts Wed 9/1/10

The Fall Session is fast approaching.  It will begin at Barnstable HS on Wed 9/1/10.  All groups will begin at 5:45PM…including Running & Racing.

Those groups that normally use the track will use the Jr High until the track is ready.  Apparently they are ahead of schedule…so it might not be too long a wait.

You can download the application here.

All the best…
