Hi Folks,

NOTE on 7/11/23: Heads up! Those coming to the WEDNESDAY workout at Warren’s, you MUST park in the jury parking lot and go through the side gate entrance to Warren’s street (Madison Av) which they are repaving starting at 8 AM! Walk on the dirt edge of the new pavement to his place. Who knows, we may be sent back if they don’t allow us to walk along the road edge. They are not permitting traffic on Warren’s street!

Note regarding SATURDAY HR/XT: There will be NO Saturday workout this Saturday because I’ll be away visiting my son and family, then to Tahoe/Truckee for family gatheThoring 14-18th.

7/11/23 TUESDAY. TEMPO workout in three sets of tempo runs. After the warm-up mile you’ll up the pace to about 10K race pace effort (not necessarily pace if on rolling terrain or on dirt).

4′ tempo (1′ easy jog, but not too slow) – 8′ Tempo (2′ easy) – 12′ Tempo, then run to finish of workout.

7/12/23 WEDNESDAY. STRENGTH TRAINING CIRCUIT/SWINGS/TRAP BAR DEADLIFTS. 8:15 AM at Warren’s gym. Park in the jury parking lot which is adjacent to Warren’s street. (mandatory) see above…Arrive a bit earlier to get in your mobility exercises and warm-up. We’ll begin with 5 x 12 Swings prior to start of the Circuit. Two rounds:
