Well we made it through another Chicago Winter! Many of you have been working really hard the past few months and payback time will be coming really soon. Consider jumping in a race or two this April to gauge your fitness.
Starting this Saturday and continuing on the next few months we will move away from the hillwork and start working on tempo runs. (Although we will still occassionally throw some hills in just for fun)
Tempo runs train your body to do 4 things with the lactic acid that builds up - 1) Convert it to glucose in the liver 2) Better buffering of the acid 3) Produce less at a given pace 4) Ability to withstand more - It is important you do your tempo runs at the proper pace (just on the edge of going anaerobic) for all these cool things to happen.
Meet Saturday 9:00 at 151st a few blocks west of Harlem in the bike path parking lot. We will be doing a tempo run around Yankee Woods
