This week, we'll take a break from the T-pace stuff to run some hills. Hills are tough and intense, and those things are not always compatible with freezing temperatures. Personally, I find it hard to hit top speed when it's cold. The warm weather expected tomorrow is a good opportunity to get in some intensity and save the moderate T-pace work for when the weather is not as favorable.
Hill workouts are great for improving your strength and running economy. Besides, if you live and race in East Tennessee, you can't avoid the hills. Here is a full rundown on the hill workouts: http://trackworkouts.blogspot.com/2010/01/hill-workout-details.html
Usually we run on the path in the median of Cherokee Blvd, but I might try running on the road because the footing is better. If you decide to run on the road instead of the path, wear something reflective and/or use a light.
Since we're still meeting at track, I'll remind you that we meet at the press box, but if it's chilly and/or raining, we usually gather in the lobby of the HPER building. The HPER is directly behind the press box. Go to the lobby on the left (West) side under the breezeway.
Alternatively, you could meet us out there if you want to do a shorter warmup or do your warmup on the gravel path on Cherokee Blvd.
