We will be doing a tempo run. In theory everyone should be going roughly their own 5k-10k-Half-Full pace, or base their pace on their HR, but we can do a group run at about 8-9min pace if folks want to stick together.
For a tempo run, you should be a going a slightly uncomfortable pace that is just beyond conversational pace.
Format:
- Warmup (~1 mile)
- 3-5 Running Drills (stride focused)
- 1 loop at an easy pace, we'll discuss what people want
- ~20min tempo run
- (Optional) Cooldown to Sunset Hill Park (~1.5 miles)
The loop is pretty versatile and can be anywhere from 1-1.5 miles and can have a decent amount of terrain variance. We may cut out the street crossing based on people's comfort level. We should complete about 2-3 loops during the tempo exercise.
Conditioning workouts take anywhere from 1-1.5h. We will never be more than a half mile away from the cars, so you do not need a running pack unless you want to wear it for training.
There are bathrooms and water fountains at the park.
We will meet at 6:30am at the south side of the Bath House.
