Tuesday Track Workout

Hope everyone had a great long weekend.  Time to get back at it!   Work off those burgers and beers at the Weehawken Track at 630am.  We leave 9th and Park at 615am for the jog over.

W/U:  Striders

Main Set:

3×1600@mile pace :60 sec rest between each rep.

1×400 faster than mile pace.

The goal for the mile pace is to run 2-4 seconds faster than your mile pace over the past few weeks.  The 400 is all out, pushing the legs once they are fatigued.  This is an important workout at this point in the season so try to make it.

Happy Training.

**The 45-second rest will be enough to give a psychological break without letting your heart-rate totally recover.

LavaMan

Hey Everyone,

If you’re looking for a good sprint in June, jsmultisport has one scheduled for June 20th in Lavallette, NJ (approximately 90 mins south).  The “LavaMan” course is fast and flat with a relatively calm swim in Barnegat Bay.  It is well organized and has great support.  Afterwards, you can scope out some of the hangouts of your favorite fist-pumpters from MTV’s Jersey Shore in Seaside Heights or enjoy a nice brunch at the Crabs Claw Inn.  Check it out:

Friday morning at 540am andrew c will lead another hill repeat session while eyal will ride further north into the park. No excuses! Get up and get out, it looks to be a beautiful morning.
