Winter Workouts
Hi there hardy winter runners all....
For the next two weeks we'll be taking our holiday winter break. So keep up your base mileage and fitness so you'll be ready to hit the track again on January 6th!
Then we'll be running all winter long on Tuesday nights at the track.
On Tuesdays arrive by 6:00pm to warm up with an easy 4 laps then at about 6:15pm we will meet at the starting line to go over the workout for the night. Each week we'll have different distance of intervals (speed work) geared toward improving your 5K and 10K race times. So whether you run 10 minute per mile average pace or a 5 minute per mile average pace you can benefit from these W/Os.
Plus, you'll benefit from all the fun and camaraderie of a workout with your running friends. So see you in the New Year!

Dashing to the Track...
In a one-horse open sleigh....
Okay, I guess that doesn't work, but you get the point, it's the HOLIDAYS! Keep those eggnog pounds from hitching a ride on your waistline with some awesome track workouts. And keep fast and fit for any Jingle Bell 5Ks or New Year's Eve Dashes scheduled.
The calendar is now updated for the next few weeks so check out the schedule and come on out for a run. There will be no track workouts on the 23rd or the 30th for the Holidays. We'll be back on track on January 6th.
This week's (Dec. 2nd) workout is -
2 x 400 - 800 - 400
P.S. - The Web Maven will not be in attendance tomorrow. We are celebrating Princess Maya's 5th Birthday.
