Since we're getting close to March start getting in some hills ( hilly course or repeats) on the weekends. Hills are speedwork in disguise and will make you a stronger runner.

Wednesday Practice
Let's work on better coordination of timing so neither the indoor or outdoor warm-up group is standing around waiting for the workout to start. Let's shoot for 7:00 sharp to start the actual work-out.
Outdoor warm-up group that means we will start promptly at 6:30. We'll be back in by 6:55 so you have 5 minutes to change clothes and get ready. Indoor warm-up group you can start whatever time you want but I would time your warm-up to finish just a few minutes before 7.
We'll be doing some tempo intervals.
We still have some spots for Yoga on Saturday if anyone is interested. It starts at 11:45. We'll start our Saturday morning run a little later so we can go stright from the run to Yoga.

Indoor warm-up group you can start whatever time you want but I would time your warm-up to finish just a few minutes before 7.
The plan for indoors for the next 6-7 weeks is to do tempo runs, tempo paced intervals along with a tiny bit of speedwork mixed in. On weekends I encourage you to add a long run with a pattern of backing off on distance every 3rd week. The tempo and long runs combined will put you in good shape for the upcoming racing season and our outdoor work-outs starting in March.
We may try to head outdoors for a tempo run on an upcoming Wednesday night but we'll take the weather and the safety of the runners into consideration.

Wednesday Night - We Start Anew
Meet at LW East LaGrange Road at Colorado Ave. We'll start the warm-up at 6:30.
You have an option to warm-up inside or do 3 miles on the road. Dress Accordingly.
Our indoor workouts will be focused on tempo pace, with a very small amount of speed mixed in. Of course there will be the ever-popular plyometrics and leg drills.
Yoga for Runners - Anyone interested in doing a Yoga for Runners Class at 11:00 AM on Jan 30 in Orland Park ? If we fill the studio it will be $12/person. Let me know via the blog or in-person on Wednesday. Stride length is the first attribute to decrease on aging runners -this class might help slow that decline down a bit.

2009 Comes to A Close
Another season on the books - the 10th one for TT&T.
It's been a good year with a bunch of PRs from the 5K to the marathon. 3 Team Victories. A bunch of Boston Qualifiers. Some new races conquered. Many new members and the continued perseverance by the usual stalwarts.
Expect some new wrinkles in 2010 - we need to keep those muscles guessing.
Savor these moments - the good times and friendships formed by the members of this team don't come along every day. Stay healthy, stay motivated and let's keep riding his sweet wave for a while.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
