Week of 4-20-09. Workouts, results to be posted (check Tamalparunners.org site for Zippy's 5K results: we had many teams filling the age groups, but results aren't up yet). Check in on this site for last minute info on our workouts and other items. For example,
> Four TH night KETTLEBELL Basic Training sessions at Nautilus of Marin, Sausalito. Can be a $100 package or by individual sessions. Go to
www.kettlebellinstructor.com for more info on the seminar session. I think it's $100 or $120 for the 4 sessions; i'm going to see if I can make this series to learn the basic kettlebell lifts properly.
> I can only find

4/23/09.
THURSDAY.
7am & 9am.
TRACK at COM. NOTE that there is group running track at
6:30am also; i'll have workout posted. A number of you have to go a bit earlier to deal with getting kids to school and earlier work schedule, so this is working well for that group.
6:30am gp: (doing longer intervals so Tom Hale doesn't get hurt...)
2 x 400 (on 2') ..not too hard: just a good strideout to get things rolling;
1 x 600 (200)
4 x 800 (200) at 5K goal pace;
1 x 1000 (200)
7am & 9am group:
2 x 400 (on 2', 2 1/2')
2 x 600 (200)..just under 5K pace
1 x 1000 (200)....at 5K pace only
6 x 200 (200) at 1M race pace max: don't want to pull a hamstring, so keep it under control and go for the reps to develop the neuromuscular coordination for rapid turnover.
TIP for extra strength work for Dipsea:On the Thursdays we have SALMON RUNS, try getting in the am track work with controlled pace; then do the Salmon run in evening. It will feel like you have somewhat "dead legs", but you'll learn to run with tired legs and pace the course better. Then when you run in the am on the weekend it's like you have extra energy and spring in thos legs: "Happy legs!".
> Same can be done when running Saturday hill repeats; then Sunday Dipsea - all good training for the big day.
4/25/09.
SATURDAY. 7:30am.
HILL REPEATS on DIPSEA course at WALSH Drive.
Do your warmup at 7am; be ready to go at 7:30. We will be adding a few more reps, plus go down to road to Muir Woods road and back up Windy Gap as part of the workout.
Request: email if some of you would like to see me alternate the Villa Marin site for hill work and the Walsh Drive location? I realize it is a closer location for a number of you.
I can also simply write up the hill repeat workouts we've been doing at Villa Marin site: we rotate four key workouts.
4/25/09.

ED'S TRACK SESSION at Novato HS.
