6 mi. Those 100 meter markings needed a refresh, this morning was my chance! Today we have Mike Sheehan, his friend, Bryan, Daniel, Nicole and Fiona for the Alton speed session. Knowing it was a first time for Nicole and Fiona, I wanted to create a set of intervals that allowed for quick starts and … Continue reading Seeing Spots

5mi. Today was the first morning of the new "summer hours" at Benjamin Track. Security will open the school gates at 6:30 am. I imagine this will inconvenience a few that have a work schedule beginning in the early mornings. Some runners cane at the regular time and did a workout on Grandiflora Ave. They … Continue reading A delayed start

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
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
6.5 mi I arrived at Alton a little earlier today, Janet and Missy were going to run just a few more warm up laps and I agreed to show up. It was still and humid, maybe we've already experienced the last cool track-type workout of the year? Paul had the sign and we went rapidly … Continue reading Last cool one?
