What's next?

The RCTC Fieldhouse is hosting a wrestling tournament (The Clash) this weekend.   In the past we've found it was very difficult to do quality speed work on the indoor track, while set-up was taking place for this event (i.e. bleachers covering half the track).   So.. with that said, I'd suggest a Tuesday night hill workout instead.   -- Wear your headlamps and reflective clothing! --
  • Tuesday 5:30pm:  Hill repeats!   Meet at the Soldiers Field memorial in Rochester.  Run a warmup over to the base at the intersection of 10th St SW & 9th Ave SW.   For a hill workout, you will run up, pressing your work effort, while focusing on efficiency and form.   When you reach the top, head back down the hill at recovery pace... the idea is to reach the bottom ready to press up the hill again!    You can pick one of the two hills to work on, or alternate. 
    • 10th St SW is the longer of the two hills,and doesn't appear very steep until the last 100M or so.
    • 9th Ave SW is the shorter of the two, and is plain old steep!
    • If you arrive late... participate anyway, run over to the hills and join in! 
  • Thursday 6pm:  Team R.E.D. meets at the Bears Den in Byron.   Routes will be in the regular range of 3,4 and 6 miles. --
    • NOTE:  The first couple of Thursdays of January will not follow our regular alternating schedule, which says 1st & 3rd Thursdays are at the Bears Den.  Rather, January 5th will be in Rochester, and January 12th will be at Somberby.
