Running Around 6-19-06

Summer base training continues this week. We'll start to add some quality in July. Until then, enjoy the low-key summer running. There is a trail run scheduled for Norris on Sunday. If you've never been to Norris to run trails, this is a great chance to expand your horizons and eat some pancakes afterward. See http://www.ktc.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=109 for all the details.

On Tuesday, let's meet at the usual time and place for a road run. I'll be doing an easy 8-10 miles for anyone who would like to join me.

Anne will being doing track work for anyone looking to do something faster. I think she said they'll be doing 400s. Also, starting next week, Anne will be the host of a group meeting at the track on Thursdays for workouts. Their focus will be a little different than Tuesday. Thursdays will be less goal-oriented -- instead focusing on year-round maintenance type workouts. I'll be providing the workouts, but Anne will be the group organizer. More details soon.

Fall marathoners ... this is the second week of a 20-week training cycle.

Tuesday: 3200@T + 3200 @ marathon pace + 3200@T with 2 minutes rest in between + 4 x striders
Weekend: Long run ... keep building

If you're running NYC, this is your week 1. See last week's email for week 1 workouts. http://trackworkouts.blogspot.com/2006/06/running-around-6-11-06.html . Chickamauga, keep working on base training.
