Wednesday Practice - Miles
No one should miss this workout.
Including all the marathoners; Bruce, Ricky, Mike, Tim B, Jim R, Tim H, John, Francisco, Carlos, Tyler, Karen and Darcy. If done right it's worth about 4 minutes on October 12th.
It's the capstone workout for both marathoners and the middle distance runners.
We are doing a 1-1/2 time trial on the roads sandwiched by two miles on the track.
We need to start promptly at 6:40 at Tinley Park High School so be warmed up and ready to run.
Don't bring too much extra stuff to the track because we'll need to jog to the road after the 1st mile on the track.
Kirk finished in 10th place in a 5K in VA.
I have a nice supply of long sleeve TT&T shirts especially women's sizes and even a few small ones good for kids - bring your loose change. I also have a Medium jacket - I would love to get rid of for $15.

Practice Saturday
Everyone looked strong on Wednesday. Practices have been tough, but hang in there a few more weeks. The hard work will pay off.
Get out there and race! Show off your fitness. Beat some people.
Meet at Little Red Schoolhouse at 8:30 on Saturday. We will do a tempo run.
Great opportunity for those training for the marathon to sandwich the tempo run into their long run. After you do the tempo run you'll be pretty tired. Run 6 -8 more miles at this fatigue level and it will mimic the final miles of a marathon.

Wednesday Practice- Yasso & Quarters
Marathoners will be doing 8 or 9 Yassos
http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-244-255-624-0,00.html
Our Yasso rest will be a little shorter than noted in the article.
Everyone else will be doing a bunch of quarters - with short rest. Please figure out your realistic 5K race goal pace before you come to practice.
For example Jerry ran a 20:27 5K. His goal is to break 20. That pace is 6:26 per mile or 96 second per quarter - he should run this workout at 93-94 seconds per quarter. Just a few seconds faster that race pace.
We're meeting at Tinley Park High School Track - be warmed up and ready to run by 6:40.

Saturday Practice
Meet at Little Red School House at 8:30 for a progressive paced run. There will be opportunities to add some miles on at the end.
Jamie Roberto may come out on Saturday if any of her old crew will be there to run with her. If you can make it. (You know who you are) let her know via a post on the Blog.
Marathoners get those long runs in - only a couple weeks until taper.
On Wednesday Marathoners will be doing Yassos. Everyone else will be doing 400s on the track. I'll explain the Yasso workout in my next post.
We are just about ready to enter our peak phase of fitness. It doesn't last long. Pick some races and go after it.
