This group is intended for club members with several years of racing experience who want to take their running to the next level. Consistency, structure, and avoiding injury will be emphasized. Participation is free and open to those who can reasonably aim for the following times:
Men | Women | |
10 Mile | 1:05 | 1:10 |
Half Marathon | 1:28 | 1:35 |
Marathon | 3:05 | 3:15 |
Each week will include two workouts and a quality long run. The exact schedule will depend on participants' goal races.
Meet above the Iwo Jima Memorial at 6:30 or near the Jefferson Memorial for a warmup, tempo run or hill repeats, and cooldown.
Meet at Washington-Lee High School in Arlington at 6:50pm, warmed up and ready for drills, strides, and stretching. We'll participate in the regularly-scheduled club workout (usually or fartlek) at 7:30pm.
Meet at North Meade Street Park in Arlington for a long run (pace varies). Start time corresponds with the club Saturday Long Run.
For more information, contact Brian Danza or Dylan Barlett, or sign up for emails below. Weekly updates will be posted on this page.
This schedule targets the 2010 Boston Marathon and will have a couple of conflicts with club races.
Hey Everyone,
Well, the end of this training cycle is here, which means that from now until January we will have nice short little tempo runs to get our legs moving a little faster.
This evening the main group just needs to do 15 minutes worth of tempo, which is just the short jaunt from Jefferson back up to Georgetown. Those of us who are running later marathons will still be doing the full Hains Point loop.
Either way, see you all tonight.
Hi everyone, welcome to Monday, tempo Monday.
Before we start with tonight's workout let's start with some congrats from this weekend's races.
Chicago:
Congrats Steve for his 2:44 PR
Armand with a 2:51 ... 3 Minute PR
and even though she doesn't run with Monday night you should email Liz Ozeki to congratulate her for her absolutely awesome 2:54 a 10 minute PR
ATM:
There are too many to even go through here
And let me know if I missed others.
The plan for tonight is for 30 minutes of tempo, which means we are still going all the way around Hains Point.
Starting next week, we will be going a lot shorter until January.
See you tonight.
Hey everyone, the end is near. The end of this training cycle that is.
But first weekend congrats.
Tonight is the last and longest of the tempo runs, totalling 45 minutes worth of tempo. Good news for those running MCM is that after this week things will just get shorter.
Don't have much to add, so see you tonight.
