Week of 12/16/24: Workouts this Tu/Wed/Th/Saturday.

Hi Folks,

I will have SATURDAY workout at Warren’s gym at 9 am. We will do KB Swings, a Circuit and finish with Deadlifts.

I’ll be updating almost daily in spurts because of all the deadlines a series of dental procedures, and “to do’s” during this time of year. Let’s see what the weather forecast is for this Saturday to see if we do the workout at the Seminary College or indoors at Warren’s garage gym. I’ll do an update by Friday.

12/17/24. TUESDAY. TEMPO run over flat to rolling terrain in order to hold a high aerobic, but controlled pace, i.e., at 10K race pace for modest mileage runners and 10M race pace for those running over 50 miles per week. Run a moderate mile warm-up, then up the effort for the two tempo pieces:

7′ tempo (1:30 easy pace) – then 15′ tempo followed by easy run to end of workout ( usually an out/back or loop course.
