If necessary, newbies can do 4-5 1200’s instead of the 6. MEET: 7:30pm @ 11th and Park —————————————————– WARM-UP: Jog to track, stretch, strides WORKOUT OPTION 1 MAIN SET (FOR THOSE NOT RACING): TEMPO RUN: Remember your tempo pace is one that you could maintain for up to an hour if it were a race. 6 x 1200 on 45-seconds rest **The 45-second rest will be enough to give a psychological break without letting your heart-rate totally recover. WORKOUT OPTION 2 MAIN SET (FOR THOSE RACING THIS WEEKEND): 1 x 1600 = In’s and Out’s: Jog the turns – Stride the straightaways 1 x 1600 = 5k effort Stretch…stretch…stretch!!!

Thursday Morning Bike

Climb some hills tomorrow morning with your favorite training partners.  We leave 14th st. ferry at 540am for some hill repeats in palisades park.  Do as many or as few as you like.  We will get some good speed with a time trial back to hoboken.  We should arrive back in town no later than 7:15.

Come on out!

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.
