5mi. After this long, I know who's who at the track. I am usually 4th in the lineup as we do our intervals. Not today. How about tenth! Nine guys show up that all can put 100m into my pace in a mere 800m. Yes, it was warm and sticky out. Yes, I enjoy chasing … Continue reading 9 guys

5mi. The first track session of 2015 means I haven't been here in 3 weeks. Nothing for Christmas Day or New Year's Day. We stick to a simple plan that Steve Monks predicts - he feels Paul will get us done quickly and out of the cold wind. 1 mi warmup jog 400m w/200m recovery … Continue reading Into the North Wind
5 mi. It doesn’t sound that bad. Skip a week worth of track workouts and I should be able to come back with some competency. I think everyone else showed up for weeks in a row. So I’m left with feeling creaky, running slower, and losing my breath. Paul surprised us all with the final … Continue reading Miss a month
4 mi. I left home in the rain, with a broken iPhone and no good weather app, it was me doing the "old fashioned" thing and just driving over to the Benjamin track for the workout. It stopped raining at PGA Blvd, so that made the warmup and first 2600 meters good. The the rain … Continue reading Lightning and rain track
5mi. It's always fun to try and "guess" the workout. A few of us are bold enough to tell others what we think is coming, although we are seldom correct. It's not always symmetrical, it doesn't jive with previous weeks, we really don't know what Paul will offer up week to week. Today we had … Continue reading Like we we knew what was happening
5 mi. When there's mist that early in the morning, it means no breeze and clammy air. We ddi good intervals, breaking things into 1600s like this... 1 mile warmup jog. 100m w/200m recovery 500m w/200m recovery 1000m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 300m w/200m recovery 900m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 800m w/200m recovery … Continue reading Misty and humid
4.5mi. I did the full mile warmup but only half of the cooldown today. We had 27 people running today, Scott and Carolyn rode there, Dave Reback brought his new UPS van full of daughters, it was good, cool 71 degree weather with a breeze. Here are the intervals... 2 x 100m striders, 100m recovery … Continue reading Last week, 400s, this time 800s.
4.5 mi. This was a simple workout, 12 repeats of 400m each. We broke the into sets of three, inside the sets we had 100m recovery. In between the sets of three were 200m recoveries. I would say I ran at about 75%-80% speed, many times shadowing Erica and Tom Matese. I kept thinking, "Just … Continue reading Roll it over and over.
4 mi. Welcome back, Charlotte! She came and did the whole track ordeal - first time in awhile. My right lower calf area was tight and still hurt, so I was never in the front pack, always in the middle or the rear group. It was very refreshing to have Charlotte to speak with, I … Continue reading Windy & Cool track
5 mi. Today's visit to the track was so I could do my first run after the marathon. I didn't intend to go fast, just do all of the intervals and stretch out my legs. It worked, because I didn't feel achy or fatigued after the workout or for the rest of the day. Here's … Continue reading Just running in circles
