4 mi. I met Erica early and we did the warmup a tad faster than most. We ran and talked with Tom Matese, his son did a 17:12 in the state championship last week! Erica's workout was to do twelve 400m repeats at 1:35 pace. We did the first one in 1:38, and every other … Continue reading I’ll take a dozen 400s to go.

4 mi. Paul wasn't at the workout today, but plenty of people were. It's Rosh Hashanah, so schools are closed. Dave Reback brought a handful of girls, Eileen Turenne and about 5 more fast guys showed up. Is this how things work? People that don't usually show up to run track come out when they … Continue reading Take the day off?
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
5mi. I knew Paul was goingto visit Greg and Laura this week, and with Erica absent from training who will organize the workout? John was there before I arrived, he delegated it to Dave Garfield. Dave didn't leave any guessing for us, he quickly conferred with Perry to deliver today's workout, each set run in … Continue reading No Paul, low attendance
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
4mi. It's been a string of cooler track workouts that make for some speedy times, even post marathon for me. A few weeks in a row it's been beneficial to have a sweatshirt or long sleever on when we get to the track and stand around. Paul comes all bundled up in long sleeves, knit … Continue reading Outdashed
4 mi. Erica had been assigned 12 400m dashes by Stan, her coach. I said I'd do them with her, why not. The rest of the group was on Paul's schedule. We alternated directions and tried to put ourseves safely among them during our 400m intervals. It worked, only once did we have an issue … Continue reading On Stan’s Plan
4mi. Not having been told or issued a request, Paul's workout was good for me this morning. Post Disney Marathon meant I wasn't going to aggressively blast through the intervals. I did well running the bridge on Tuesday, so that meant I didn't have to completely lay off any speed or scramble through the group, … Continue reading Some track-fed stride recovery
5mi run/21 mi ride They say the more adverse the conditions get, the better the workout. I believe! Hurricane Sandy is heading up the coast from Miami, it won't directly hit us but it will bring wind and rain through Saturday afternoon. Today's track workout was a smattering of shorter distances topping out at 800m … Continue reading Rolling heavy in the big winds
5 mi. I came to play some but barely awake, I have been goofed by changes in the traffic lights on the way, barely making it in time for the warmup jog. I didn't bring a drink, and it got noticeably lighter before we were done running today. 1 mi warmup jog 400m w/200m recovery … Continue reading Erica’s lead
