Mount Poleline: For hill work, this is about as good as it gets in Davis. Jack Daniels said that optimal hill incline is about 2 - 3%. Any steeper and you go too slow going up and injuries increase on the way down.

Community Park 1K XC loop: Grass and short hills. Great tune up for some of those races like Golden Gate Park or Ancil Hoffman that run across grassy meadows.

Ladder Work-out: 200m - 400m - 600m - 800m - 1000m - 800m - 600m - 400m - 200m.  200m rest after the first 200m then 400m rest after all other intervals. This adds up to 5K at speed and 3K at a recovery jog.

Yasso 800s: Bart Yasso's very rough gauge of marathon fitness.  Run 10 x 800 m with full rest in between repeats. If your average 800 m time is 3 min, then you should be able to run a 3 hour marathon if fully trained. If you average 800 m time is 4 min, then a 4 hour marathon is doable. Are Yasso 800s overrated?  Probably, but they are an interesting diversion to insert into the middle of the 10 mile loop.

5 K paced track interval workout: Devised by Eric N. and Orlando to prepare for the 5 K through the half marathon. The goal is to run near your 5 K race pace over a 4 min to 4:30 min interval. The table on the link has recommended distances and goal times based on your 10 K race time.

3 K time trial on the track. Traditionally used by Coach McCann to choose his teams for Tahoe Relays.
