5mi. The intervals for today were all middle distance, except for a 200m near the beginning. The new guy Roger went fast for that one, step for step with John R., but he wasn't anywhere near the front on the others. 1 mi warmup jog 600m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 500m w/200m recovery 500m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m … Continue reading On track for something good

5mi. As if the lot of us haven't been to enough of Paul's workouts, we still don't guess the intervals correctly even when it seems so easy. Today was cooler but no breeze at all which made it hot and sweaty after the warmup laps. Perry, Seth, myself, it was a good effort but it … Continue reading When you think you know…
5mi. I pulled up with only a few minutes before the running began. Paul is back from his injury, Francie was away this week. Temps were low 80s plus the humidity was all out crushing. Everyone felt it and said it affected their times. Jen Q and Cody told me about their trip to NYC … Continue reading It’s all back in place
5 mi. I came not feeling 100% but knowing I have to get in the run groove. Low attendance, but I'm good with keeping my own pace since Erica doesn't come anymore. Ok, maybe I slack off in the last 50m... 1 mi warmup jog 800m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 200m … Continue reading Short work of the sprints.
4mi. It's customary for us to get less people when winter. Today we had maybe 10 runners. Weather was warm like a late spring morning. I ran half speed, having just done the Miami Marathon 4 days earlier. Our intervals -- 1 mi warmup jog 300m w/200m recovery 300m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 900m … Continue reading Track among other achievers
4mi. "...at the nursing home!" says Paul as he assigns us our second timed mile for the morning. We don't get "miles for time" except for about each five or six weeks. But today, getting a mile interval so early in the workout made many of us think that we'd be trying to better the … Continue reading We do this workout all the time…
5 mi. A 6 week layoff due to IM training and other scheduling clashes means I was back to the track workout today. I thought I was there early, but shortly after arriving we started the 1 mile warmup. I spoke to Paul, Dave G, Gary and Seth about the Switzerland adventure. Without pictures, there's … Continue reading Back to Track
4 mi. Track workout was lightly attended today. Until Dave Reback brought a vanload of kids, there were less than 12 people running today. Paul felt a calf pull on his first "220" so he made his way around the track to start and announce each interval. When I arrived, we were the only two … Continue reading Odds have it
4 mi. A cooler than I expected morning meant I wore my heaviest grade cotton short sleeved t-shirt. I met Erica at her car, thankfully she confirmed, it was not a regular warm day. Sometimes the tree-surrounded Reback Track & Field is cooler than its surroundings! Paul called out a "nobody could've guessed it" set … Continue reading A token showing
4 mi. For all the people that say they will "taper", "do less" and generally relax before a race, I say it's not tough for me. Today was a track workout I felt fine to run well, but slogged a slow series of intervals to be fresh for NYC Marathon. Paul cast a few 1000m … Continue reading Relax in the back
