Wednesday Practice & More

Back to the Track
Meet at Tinley Park High School - 175th Street. Two blocks east of Ridgeland. Be warmed up and ready to start by 6:45. You can warm up on the track or surrounding streets.

Half marathoners - be sure to taper this week - cut your mileage by about 25% but maintain your intensity. Do some miles at your race goal pace.

Good quote as we enter racing season -
There are people in your race you are faster than. Beat them.

There are people out there who are probably equal to you. Beat all of them because you ran a smart race.

There will also be people who are better than you. Beat half of them because they run stupidly

TT&T has a long tradition of running smart races and beating people that go out too fast - figure out a good race plan based on a realistic evaluation of your fitness, be flexible to the conditions then implement! If you do this right you will be passing people in the last few miles of the race and we should never get passed!
