let the games begin

After a good first week, we head into week two with our first competition coming at the end of the week. The first two threshold-based runs went well and it's promising to see where everyone is at. Keep the focus on running the correct effort, and make sure you do good with all the little things that ultimately very likely make the difference on your progress.

mon - light aerobic running
tue - (6AM) 80% running on park cinder loop
wed - OFF, no running
thu - aerobic running + 6-8 x hill sprints
fri - light aerobic running (or 6AM workout, those not racing)
sat - competition
sun - (time tbd) long aerobic running

park cinder loop (870m):
1 mi = 1 lap + 730m
2 mi = 3 laps + 590m
3 mi = 5 laps + 450m
4 mi = 7 laps + 310m
5 mi = 9 laps + 170m
6 mi = 11 laps + 30m
7 mi = 12 laps + 760m
8 mi = 14 laps + 620m
9 mi = 16 laps + 480m
10 mi = 18 laps + 340m
