Saturday Long Run
There is an organized run every Saturday morning at the Pump House starting at 7:30. Paces and distances (up to 20 miles) vary widely and there are usually enough people running to find someone or a group to run with. Water and gatorade are put out by one of the runners every week. Coming for the first time? It’ll be great! We start here:
Runners put out the water and gatorade. In other words, if we don’t put it out it doesn’t get put out and then we are all thirsty and annoyed!! Fortunately, we have the WATER BARON who coordinates the Saturday fluids. What’s most important is that you sign up to put out the water, or you will feel the wrath of the Baron.
There are two places we have water and gatorade (click the link for directions):
The Mailboxes: This is 3.3 miles from the start
The Triangle: This is 2.2 miles on Quaker Ridge Rd from stop 1.
Wednesday Speed Workout
Coach Jack Brennan runs a workout at Rockefeller Preserve every Wednesday — each week it’s a different workout with particular objectives and challenges; contact Jack via email to find out what’s going on right now. Jack sends out a weekly email, which is great to have if you’re going to the workout, but also useful if you’re missing it. You can emulate the workout on your own and not feel sad that you missed an awesome run.
Here’s Jack’s latest email:
- 5/16 Hill Repeats
This week it’s back to our hill repeats. They are 5 x 100 secs, 5 x 50 secs & 3 x 25 secs up the hill towards the barn. The hill is a moderate one with a relatively steady grade and the recovery is the jog back down. A secondary goal is to go slightly further on each repitition. Also we will focus on maintaining form as you tire.The starting point is the meeting place.
The workout starts at 5:30pm, and usually begins here..
