Wednesday Practice Aug. 2

Meet/park at Joe's Pond. It's along 104th ave. just south of Little Red. This will be a great workout for everyone regardless of ability. If you are new, or unsure if others will be there of your ability, do not hesitate to come out. No one will be alone or get lost on this confined loop. I'll have a cooler with ice for everyone to use. Meet at 6:15, practice starts at 6:30 sharp.

Saturday Practice July 29th

Meet at Little Red Schoolhouse we'll start at 8:00 due to the heat. We'll do a 8-9 mile run with some up tempo work.

Wednesday Practice

Let's get some of our Lincoln Way Residents out to practice this week.

Meet at Hickory Creek Junction -
http://www.fpdwc.org/hickoryplank.cfm

Hickory Creek Junction is located on Route 30, approximately 1.0 miles west of Wolf Road, in Mokena. Pull all the way into the back parking lot. We will do some hilly repeats on grass trails. A great strength builder. We've done this practice the past two years. Bring some water it's going to be hot.

Practice starts at 6:30.

P.S. Jim Raymond & Tim Hansen tackled the Waterfall Glen course this weekend in a 10 mile race

Practice Saturday July 22nd

Hola,
It's about 13 weeks until the Marathon. That means the M'ers should be doing a long run of about 15-16 miles. Let's meet at Waterfall Glen(the trailhead is on Cass Ave. about 2 blocks south of I-55) tomorrow at 8:15. Marathoners can start earlier and jump in with us at 8:15 or they can add on some extra miles afterwards.

In either case those running at 8:15 be on time so the marathoners don't need to wait for us on their second loop.

Go Floyd!

Wednesday July 19th Practice

Wednesday will be nice and hot for everyone. Come on out and determine where your heat exhaustion threshold is. I may or may not be there due to grad school commitments. But the workout will be easy to follow for all who attend. It's a TTT classic. Meet 6:30 at the forest preserve just West of 151st and Harlem. It is on the North side of 151st. This is where we will start. We'll be doing our "Bridge to Bridge" workout. Warmup to the bridge at Oak Park Ave, and do 3 one way runs with a full 5 minute recovery. The length of each from one bridge to the other is 1.5 miles. Try to group up and stay consistant on each one and HYDRATE.

Saturday July 15 Practice

It's likely we will have a small turnout this Saturday as most regulars are traveling or racing. For those who want to come out and do a loop, meet at 40 acres at 8:30 AM. You might want to check with a teammate of your ability to ensure a running partner. We can mix in some tempo hills or modify depending on who shows (if anyone). But Wednesday promises to be a good turnout again. E-mail Eva if you're interested in the Monday run.

Practice Wednesday July 12th

Meet at Tinley Track 175th & Ridgeland- however we won't be running on the track.
The run starts at 6:30.

Practice Saturday July 8th

Ye Fleet of Foot,

Practice will be at Little Red School House at 8:30. I may not be there but I would do a steady 7-8 mile run. Not tempo but a good steady pace. Followed by one (very fast) 1200 on White Oak trail.

If you would like to move subsequent practices up to 8:00 for the next 7 weeks of summer drop me a line. Majority rules - but you have to show up regularly to vote.

Practice Wed July 5th.

Meet at 40 Acre Woods (119th & one block east of LaGrange) at 6:30.

We will run 2 x 2 miles. Using the (start at the parking lot, run the flats, run the rollers, down the big hill, cross the street, up Big Bertha, flush the lactic acid out and finish course).
