Hi Folks,

SATURDAY HR/XT is a go. See you Saturday morning.

8/18/26 TUESDAY. TEMPO sustained run pieces to be run over a mostly flat or moderately rolling on dirt ore paved terrain. After the warm-up half to full mile, you’ll up the pace to 10K or 15K race pace depending on your mileage, i.e., “threshold pace” which is a high aerobic, but controlled pace; not racing!
