Saturday Practice & Some Other Stuff
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.

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.

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.

Saturday Practice 8/30
Good tough practice last night.
Join us next Wednesday after practice at the Blue Fox where we'll pass out the team t-shirts, bring your money. The Blue Fox which is only about a mile from the track is offering some food & drink specials to the team. Stop by if you can. We'll have more details at practice.
Saturday -Meet at 40 Acre Woods - 119th one block east of LaGrange we'll start at 8:30. We'll do a progressive paced run. After 4 miles steady pace the next few miles will each get a little faster.
Turnout hasn't been great on Saturdays and I understand that a lot of people have family commitments or are racing - but be sure if you don't run with the team that you do a tempo/fartlek/progressive run once per week in addition to a long steady run of 8-12 miles (of course more for marathoners). These two runs + Wednesday speedwork will put you in your best position to race well the rest of the season.
Good luck to everyone racing this weekend - post your results.
