1/8/26 THURSDAY. SPEED-WORK. at your local track to develop fitness, accurate pacing and usually totaling 2.5 -5 total distance. The goal is to train at threshold level, but not racing..

1/10/26 SATURDAY…..most likely I will work the finish line at the 4M Club race in Tenn Valley and postpone the Sat HR/XT . If so those of you who want to get in basic mileage or a fast paced run us at 8 am at the Tenn Valley parking lot the race may be in question if the dirt road and trail are damaged from the rain storms.
