Thursday Morning Track and Ride

Hey Everyone,

For those who missed the Yasso 800s Tuesday morning Michael will be running them again Thursday morning leaving from 6th and park at 6am.  The first weekday bike of the season will also commence at 545am sharp from 14th st ferry.  Come on out!

TUESDAY Track Workout

Good morning,

Just a reminder that track workouts will now be on Tuesday mornings starting tomorrow.

Lets start our Tuesday workouts with some Yasso 800s! We will revisit the 800s every 4-5 weeks and build on them. So here is tomorrow’s workout:

Warmup: 2 laps + drills
Main Set: 6 x 800 @ 5K, 45s rest between
Cool Down: Jog back to Hoboken

The goal of Yasso 800s is to keep a controlled, even pace through all of the 800s. You want to push the pace but you also want to be able to hit the same mark each interval. So choose a goal pace that is fast but attainable.

Meet at 9th & Park at 6am or at the Weehawken track for a 6:15am start. We will be back in Hoboken by 7:15am.

–Michael

This weekend Rich will be leading a group ride on Saturday leaving from the 14th St Ferry in Hoboken at 7:00 Am.



On Sunday Andrew and Nicole will be leading a group ride leaving the 14th St Ferry in Hoboken at 8:00.  There will be a more aggressive and less aggressive paced group on Sunday so take advantage!



Don’t forget that next week Hoboken Masters switches to Mon/Wed/Fri mornings and Tues/Thurs evenings.  To coordinate our schedules, the track workouts will now be meeting on Tuesday mornings at 9th and Park Ave at 6:00 Am.  We will also be starting our Tues/Thurs morning rides leaving from the 14th St Ferry in Hoboken at 5:40 AM.   These rides will go up into Palisades Park where you will have the option to do hill repeats or an out and back in the park.  The ride leaders will give 24 hour notice of these rides on the Yahoo Group so everyone knows what to do.
