TMBC 12-16 x 400, 100 rest

Hi Everyone. Big Guy is celebrating his 64th birthday today and enjoying a fun day down in Asheville, NC with his lovely bride Becky. Last I heard from him he was at the Hillman Brewery telling me how good the beer was. I will leave the rest to your imaginations. BIG Happy Birthday to the coach!

The weather tomorrow morning will be less than perfect for track work but hey, you all are already toughened up and acclimated to this summer in the DMV. We have an old reliable strength workout planned. 12-16 x 400 with 100m rests. 400s at 10K pace. Remember to keep those 100m rest intervals consistent i.e. don't slow down your rest interval as you progress. Take the 400s in sets of 4 and get water after each set. Try to then make each set a little faster than the one before.

At the races this week ... The Peachtree Road Race 10k has drawn national and international attention for many years on the July 4 holiday. Some of the finest and fastest runners cover a challenging 10K course in what is usually brutal summer conditions in Atlanta. Not so brutal this year and Chris Walsh was there enjoying those conditions. He turned in a fine time of 42:55. Way to go Chris!

The Age-Handicapped 4M also took place on the 4th. Some nice times as always but age-group standings aren't in the results. Big shout out to Arielle being the first women across the line including handicap but also the fastest female scratch time.
