Running Around 1•11•14

Week 7 • Winter Training 2013

Hopefully you all have been using this base period of training to get rested, healthy, re-focus on core cross training and have started building a solid training base for the upcoming Spring racing season. But this week we will trade the greenways for the track and start back with formal workouts.

We'll start with our bread & butter workout of T-pace mile repeats with 60 seconds rest. To find your T-pace, go to the links at the bottom of this message. Click on the first one, and enter a recent race result. It will return a list of training paces for your fitness level. It's important to note that you should use a recent result and not a goal for an upcoming race.

If you're not taking advantage of the marathon training runs, you're missing a great opportunity. They take place every Saturday morning at 8am. Location is different each week. You do not need to be a KTC member to participate. With a big crowd, it's easy to find someone going your pace and/or distance.

Since we'll be back at the 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.
