Hi Gang,

The plan for this Wednesday’s workout is as follows:

Warm-up  – 15-20 mins of easy jogging…or jogging mixed with walking. This should be easy. Come back to the track feeling good. Be ready about 6:20-6:25PM.

Track workout (2 alternatives):

• Workout 1 – (marathoners, half marathoners, long triathlons etc) – 4 x 6 mins @30 min race pace with 2 min recoveries – need to pace correctly
• Workout 2 – (short course triathletes, 5K goal runners, others) – 8 x 2 min @repeatable pace with 2 min recoveries

Everyone will all be on the same clock so you will all be together for a lot of it.  The folks doing the 6 minute pick-ups will always be starting with the people doing 2 min pick-ups. The group doing 2 min pick-ups will simply be recovering during part of the 6 min group pick-ups.  It should work out nicely…even if I’ve confused the hell out of you here. For more confusion…see below.

Cool-down – 5-20+ mins of easy jogging or walk/jogging…or walking.

Guests and drop-ins welcome…

See you there…RAIN or SHINE!!!

Hi Friends,

Note: I will suggest that some folks do 4 x 800m instead. This will be based on current fitness level and/or Fall racing plans.

This workout will be no problem as long as you pace correctly.

Hey All,

Congrats to all those who successfully completed Falmouth this past weekend.

Here’s the plan for Wednesday:

Warm-up  – 15-20 mins of easy jogging…or jogging mixed with walking. This should be easy. Come back to the track feeling good. Be ready about 6:20-6:25PM.

Track workout –  4 sets of 4 x 1 mins w/30 sec recovery, 2-3 minutes recovery between sets.  Do the 1 min pick-ups at a repeatable pace. Figure it’s got to be a pace you can hold for at least 10 minutes if you had to.
