We’ve got awesome news to share: congrats to Nick Teslik and Sam Hill on their recent engagement!  We are super psyched for you guys.  Also, congrats to Maria Wedgeworth on obtaining your US citizenship – I guess you’re no longer just our favorite Swede.

Reminder that tomorrow’s workout will meet in Church Square Park at 6:15am.  The workout consists of plyometrics and dynamic warm up and stretching led by Jared Lando.  Let  Jared know if you are going!  If you are new to the group – RSVP on the club calendar so the group leaders can keep a look out for you.

Time is running out to renew your memberships.  Remember, if you haven’t paid your 2014 dues, your RaceReach account will expire and we will remove folks from the Facebook group as of 1/31/14.  Paying your dues is easy; just visit the website: http://www.gctri.org/login-2/

Thursday Night Track Workout

Runners,

We have some people racing this weekend so I have created 2 options for the run workout this evening. I am out of town for work so will not be there. Email me if you have any questions.

MEET: 7:30pm @ 11th and Park

—————————————————–
WARM-UP: Jog to track, stretch, strides

MAIN SET:
TEMPO RUNS increase the duration you’re able to sustain a relatively high running pace and increase the speed you’re able to maintain for a long time.
SPEED INTERVALS increase stride power and efficiency.  They are not full sprints; rather, they should be performed at the fastest pace you can maintain through the end of the last interval without slowing down.

SHORTER FOCUS WORKOUT
8 x 400 on 30-seconds rest
Breakdown each 400 to the following…Hard 200 – EZ 100 – Hard 100
**You don’t have to sprint the hard part. Focus on good form, quick turn-over, relaxed shoulders.

LONGER FOCUS WORKOUT:
2 x 1600m @ 10k pace on 60-seconds rest
8 x 100 = hard 100 – EZ 100 jog, repeat

COOL DOWN: Jog home
—————————————————–

APPROX. TOTAL DISTANCE: 5 – 7 miles
APPROX. TOTAL TIME: 60 minutes
