VTG: Back on Track

The workout for this coming Monday will be back at North Side at 5:30. It's once again time to hit the oval. Many of our runners are recoverying from races, once again congrats to all the Boston runners, or gearing up for the mini. Since we are two weeks out, I thought it was time to break back into the half marathon training mode with a 8 x 800 workout. However, instead of active recovery (which I am a huge fan) we will be doing full rest. The rest should be around three minutes between each set. The 800's will start at goal pace plus ten seconds, decreasing ten seconds per mile for each set of two. If your goal is 8:00 per mile then your first two will be in 4:05, the next two will be in 4:00, the next two in 3:55 and the final one in 3:50. We will follow up the workout with an easy two mile cool down. If your coming out for the first time, I may limit you to six sets depending on your fitness level and goals. Once again great job to the Boston Crew and I hope to see you all out this coming Monday.

Also, I am still looking for someone who would want to lead a Tuesday night group doing the same workouts. If you know anyone interested please get in contact with me so I can give more people options on the VTG workouts.
