2010 Jan-March Track Workouts

Happy New Year! See below for workouts January-March 2010.

The workouts are divided into two categories: regular and novice. The latter category is intended for those in the National Marathon and Half-Marathon Training Programs who have less experience in track workouts, or for anybody else who would have difficulty completing the “regular” workouts. Also, keep in mind that the recommended number of repeats is a maximum – there is no obligation to do the full number. It is better to do fewer repeats at the recommended tempo and interval (rest) duration, than to attempt the “full” workout and not be able to keep up the pace/interval length. Those who are winding back into shape are especially encouraged to do fewer repeats and work their way back up.

As always, the workouts are subject to change due to weather conditions. On days when there is a potential of snow/ice on the track, I will check conditions during the day and, if necessary, have an advisory posted on the website on Wednesday afternoon.
