Fortunately, the *posted* (but always subject to change) Spring Sports schedule for W-L High School shows that we will lose "only" four workouts between now and the end of May. Better than recent years.  

Those dates are: March 16, March 30, April 20, May 4.  

For March 16, we will do 800M repeats on the Custis Trail.  We'll start at Mile 1.5 and decide at "game time" whether to run back and forth to Mile 1.0 or Mile 2.0.  (Both are hilly, but to and from 2.0 might be a bit easier. 

For March 30, we will do fast-Tempo 4-miniute repeats on the Trail, with slow 3-minute jog recovery.  Six repeats.  

For April 20, we will do fast-tempo 3-minute repeats on Trail, with 2-minute jog recovery.  Eight repeats.  

For May 4, we will do Mile Repeats, 10K-10M pace, on Trail.  4 repeats (with option for 3).  

May-August workouts will be posted in early May.  

Thank you.  Coach Ed
