5mi. This morning we had 19 runners for a track workout. It was still, no breeze and humid. The crowd that came to prep for the Freedom Run mostly returned. We did short rest intervals today, finishing with a set of 400m runs split by 100m recoveries. There was no waiting for the group - just start … Continue reading Threshold 400s

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…

Paul was away in Las Vegas this week, he did leave a workout for us. 12 - 400m runs separated by 100m recovery jogs. I ran mine behind Steve Monks, who on interval #9 was baited into catching Jen Rapaport who left early for that reason. 1mi warmup jog 400m w/100m recovery (1:29) 400m w/100m … Continue reading Twelve quarters
5 mi. I'm running our second "Rogue Run" tonight, but this is more important. Today was breeze-less and I had a big red meat dinner last night. I felt good, wearing the well-worn Skechers Go Run Ride 4 shoes, primarily because they are easy to slip on/slip off. 1 mi warmup jog 300m w/100m recovery (1:09) 300m … Continue reading A fair chance
5mi. No rain! First workout in 5 days outdoors as what is being described as "once in a century" rains and floods hit South Florida. I believe the rain has brought some cooler temps, that's good. I am entered in the Full Moon 10 mile race on Saturday night. Previously held at JD State Park, … Continue reading On the Grid Again
5mi. Our warm summer weather allows for local runners to branch out into triathlons, spending some of our training time with a 20+mph bike breeze or swimming. It's also a great time to "gut" through workouts that build a really strong runner. That describes today's effort. We had a good series of 300, 400 and 500m sprints, … Continue reading Summer Strong
It wasn't too many years ago that a 3-day weekend meant MORE time for runs, rides or an extreme showing of fitness. I don't think I've had that feeling in several years, however. I went with John to the Sunset Music Festival in Tampa on Saturday and Sunday. That was fun, but no workouts. There … Continue reading Hot Gas
5mi. All the social posts from good and great runners that have track intervals in their weekly schedule include times. I haven't done much to stay on top of how much time each interval takes, showing up and chasing the group is good for me. Or was. Now with an awareness of what's fast, I see … Continue reading Point of reference
Of course my birthday this year fell on a Monday. And I went to a restaurant and ate a nice meal and sat there for 35 minutes waiting for the check. This is not going to help the Tuesday bridge workout. And... it's a day for hill sprints! There were a bunch of people on the … Continue reading Eat Big, Run Slow
5mi. Of all the social media posts you see from runners, often there are photos of workouts and track sessions. Of course there are, there should be! It's an essential part of any serious runner's regimen, speed and intervals. Form and function. Most folks don't have an opportunity to attend a coached track session. Or they … Continue reading Think about that!
