Wednesday Practice & Training Stuff

We'll meet at Tinley Park High Schol Track (175th - 1 block east of Ridgeland). Be warmed up and ready to go by 6:40. It's starting to get darker earlier so we need to start on time.
This week we'll be doing 600's.

Here's the plan for the next 8 weeks on the track:

We're going to increase the distance of our intervals the next few weeks until we max out at a mile. Then we are going to start decreasing the distance and the number of intervals as we sharpen up our speed.

Some principles to keep in mind.
This journey to peak form needs to be progressive - each week we are going to make one of the variables a little tougher - the distance of intervals, the recovery or the number of intervals. You want to keep the speed consistent -but we will work on that as we start decreasing the distance and number of the intervals.

On Saturdays we will either - do a tempo run, fartlek, progressive paced run or race. This will be your second hard workout of the week. The only thing missing is a long run which you'll need to do on your own.

We'll pass out the t-shirts you ordered on Wednesday Sept 3rd at the Blue Fox Restaurant in Tinley after practice. Please try to make this practice and bring your money that night. More details to follow.
