Feb 12 HPT Tempo Run

Written by Brian Danza

Monday, 11 February 2019 10:23

Hello, my Monday running buddies. 
 
I know it's going to be a dreary one today, but guess what? the hardcore people will be out there and so should you. I am taking bets on whether Bobby will show up this week.
 
The plan calls for 33 minutes worth of tempo today, which means we will still run around Hains Point clockwise. 
 
In other news, I am headed to China for a couple of weeks, so you will be in Dylan's able hands for that time.

Feb 4 HPT tempo run

Written by Brian Danza

Monday, 04 February 2019 11:13

Welp, it's that time of the month, time to run up and down hills until your legs simply can't do it anymore. 
 
Since it's February and Boston is only three months away, we will do 6 hill repeats this evening. 
 
Can't wait to see you all.
