SRR Track: Tuesday MAY 19 - 7:00 PM at Tufts

Track Workouts and Information

This is our final week at the Tufts track. After we gather we will jog over to the intersection of Packard Ave and Powderhouse Boulevard for hill repeats.

(Note: Next week is PR Night at Hormel Stadium in Medford— info at the bottom of this blurb )

But this week, everyone will run 2 sets of hills. The easy jog down the hill (on the sidewalk, please) will be your recovery from each rep. Between sets you get an extra 3 minutes of rest. Each hill rep is either a “Half” hill (i.e. up to Professor’s Row) or “Full” hill (i.e. up to the crosswalk at the very top).

If you are running less than 40 miles per week, I suggest this

• * 3 x “Half” hill

• * 2 x “Full” hill

If you are running more than 40 miles per week, I suggest this

• * 2 x “Half” hill

• * 3 x “Full” hill

See you at 7:00,

-Joe O’Leary

p.s. This is our final week at Tufts. Next Tuesday, May 26, we will head over the Hormel Track in Medford for PR Night.

IMPORTANT: Next week we meet at Hormel Track in Medford. (There should be ample parking if anyone needs to drive). We will be running “PR” Night, a series of 1 mile time trials. I need all of you to fill out this very short form letting me know what mile time you would aim for in a 1 mile race. If any of you are willing to pace a heat for slower runners, please enter your info also.

Upcoming Workouts
May 26: PR Night at Hormel Track in Medford
June 2:  Something light and short for you 26x1 crowd.  Something a little longer for the rest.
June 9:  Cruise Intervals
June 16: Whistle Workout
