Week of 3/18/24: Workouts this week

Hi Folks,

We’ll have several good weather days this week, but Friday afternoon through Saturday will be rainy; unless that prediction changes by Thursday. For now, no SATURDAY HR/XT at the Seminary College; we’ll have a 9 AM Circuit at Warren’s gym…

Last Sunday a few members of the group did a ride on Dry Creek Rd and West Dry Creek Road past a good number of vineyards on a perfect day for cycling, with a stop two-thirds of the way through with a stop for lunch at the Dry Creek Deli. The course we rode is part of the Wine Century 100K course and Asti Tour De Vine which had their lunch stations near in the large parking lot near the base of Lake Sonoma dam.

3/19/24 TUESDAY. TEMPO run session. After the warm-up mile, pick up the pace to 10K race pace, i.e., a high aerobic, but controlled effort:

4′ tempo (1′) – 10′ (1:30) – 6′ tempo and then run to the finish of the workout.

After the workout do easy two laps, then a stretch session before leaving the track.
