Oh, The Weather Outside Is Frightful.....

It's time to go indooors Dirty Red. Join me if you can at Merrillville H.S. 's indoor track on Thursday, 15 January, for a warm workout of four 800's. A mile and 1/2 warm up and cool down will give us a nice five mile total. Be ready to run 6:30p.m. ish.
If this works well, we should continue an indoor workout for another 5 weeks or so. Since we are all distance runners, the emphasis will be on repeats of greater distance, increased numbers and shorter recoveries.

  1. Just a few words about the indoor workouts. these are pace and not speed workouts. At this stage we are building our aerobic strength with pace intervals which will increase in number distance and shorter recovery over a six week period. Periodization is key, and increasing aerobic strength will allow us to start at a higher anaerobic intensity later.
