Saturday - Meet at Little Red School House at 8:30. Marathoners can get in their last long run (10-12 miles, some at race pace) and everyone else can some miles in with a tempo finish.
Okay, here is the plan for the rest of the Fall Season - we'll meet at the track for the next 4 weeks. Our workouts will be a little shorter(both in interval length and overall speed mileage) but also a little faster as we try to squeeze the last bit of speed out of our legs.
There will be a special tapering workout for marathoners.
Then the next two Wednesdays Nov 5th & Nov 12th - we'll do some tempo runs to keep people sharp for the Turkey Trot Season. After that we'll continue to meet on Wednesday nights to do a casual hour run. We'll keep that up through mid December. Then we will shut it down for about 4-5 weeks. And then start up again in the 3rd week of January. (The plan for Saturdays in a future blog)
Racing - Everyone is in or close to peak racing form - take advantage of this and get some races in. The weather is perfect and you should run some great times. I know it will start to get a little more challenging to get your miles in as it gets darker earlier and the temperature cooler but hang in there for another few weeks and great things will happen. I promise.
Mark your calendars for November 9th - It is the Tinley Turkey Trot and it will be a great race on a fast course to do as a team.
Marathoners - cut back on your mileage - but still get a lot of work in at marathon race pace - now is the time to lock into how that will feel on race day. Don't forget to carbo load.

The only thing missing is a picture of the Dr.of Death.
Just wondering what he looked like back then.......probabaly a nice clean cut skinny kid with high moral values with a large boombox.

How important is the consumption of eggs and other protein foods for
a great performance in the marathon?
