Club Members and Guests --
Sorry for the late notice, but still have not received a May calendar from Arlington County.
However, the Washington-Lee schedule shows boys' soccer matches tonight, thus closing the track to us.
We will do a trail workout, therefore. At the suggestion of Max Reid, this will be a closely-timed "cadence" workout, with the suggestion that you count your cadence (leg turnover) during each two-minute speed interval. There will be a 1-minute rest interval between each of these.
In order to keep the group a bit more together, and to facilitate any questions that might arise, we will do this as an "out-and-back" workout along the Custis Trail. We will warm up to Milepost 1.0, and then run down to Milepost 0.0, turn around, and back up again. Two round trips should do it -- meaning most of you will cover a bit over 3 miles "at speed." This will also give you a chance to check differences in your cadence on downhill and uphill portions.
We will meet at the usual time, around 7:00 pm, at the south entrance to the stadium, and proceed out to the trail around 7:10. Workout should be complete by 8:00.
I will attempt to organize like-pace groups so that one person can keep track of the time while others in the group focus on counting their strides.
See you tonight.
Ed
