We are on standard time. It is cooler now for work-outs. With the cooling, we may pull cold muscles so we have transitioned to slower paced, longer, intervals. Our transitions on alternate Mondays were one lap increases in distance until the total goes from two to three miles. Alternate Wednesdays, we similarly stepped to four miles from three. Since it is cooler, the intervals are slower paced and recoveries are shorter.
The workouts are intended for about 90th percentile runners. They should be modified to fit individual abilities by either changing the number of intervals or their lengths. Recovery periods should last until the legs are no longer tired. If recovery is no longer possible, end the workout.
Access to the Lincoln Hi track is available now through the main turnstile on Olive Avenue. If it is locked, you can climb over the 8′ tall turnstile. If you are afraid of heights, you can try some nearby gates or enter the on campus parking area from the opposite side of the campus at the intersection of Wabash Ave and Garden Drive.
Because of the coronavirus ban on group gatherings, there will be no formal group work-outs. If you choose to show up anyway to do a work-out, the below are suggested:
01/06/21 Wed – = 4 miles
01/04/21 Mon – = 3 miles
