VTG Workout of the Week

Hopefully this will be the last day of brutal weather, as numbers dwindled, but spirits soared last Monday. There were points during the run when the wind would almost stand me straight upright, but the workout was still a success. Running in conditions like that get you mentally and physically tough. It was challenging, and I know everyone's times will get better for that workout later in the season by better weather alone. Here are the results and I still need a few others to send me them if you kept splits or laps.

20 minutes of 200/200:
Anne : 48's for the quick.
Mike : 39's for the quick, total laps: 12 3/4
Casey : 39's for the quick, total laps: 12 3/4
Kerry : Lap average 1:57, total laps: 10
Luke : Lap average 1:47, total laps: 11 3/4

As for next week, we are off the track on onto the trails/hills. We will be meeting at Franke Park (at the pavilion where the Firecracker 4/Zoo Race starts) at 5:30 and heading back to the old soapbox derby hill in the back of the park. We will be running four to six sets of 1,000 meter loops that takes you up the hill. I will measure it to check the distance. The recovery between sets will be five minutes. Also remember that the workout starts right around 5:30, so if you want more warm-up time then please try to get there for needed time. As the training schedule goes, this is the fourth week and I usually alternate three weeks on and one week off, so we will not be meeting the week of April 17th. An email will still go out that week updating you on the following weeks workout and location.

Also, I know some people can't make the Monday night workouts, and I wanted to know if anyone would be willing to step up and lead a Tuesday night group? I'm putting my feelers out now for anyone who is interested because I know a lot more people are interested in attending the workouts on Tuesday. If you are interested email me back and I (fingers crossed) am hoping to get a Tuesday group going the week after our week off. The weather breaking is right around the corner as the trees are in blossom, so I hope to see many of you out next Monday, 5:30 at Franke Park.
