1/25/2022 Tuesday Speed Workout - UCD track

5:45 pm Meet up at UC Davis track. The track may be dark so consider wearing a headlight.

6:10 pm Intervals begin (at the request of a few people with day jobs, start time is delayed 5 minutes to allow a little more commute time):

8 x (400m at R pace with 400m recovery jog) Go only as fast as you feel comfortable. Try to negative split so that your last few are at your 400m R paced interval time.

Looking to run with others in Davis?

Tuesday Speed Workout: Craighton, craighton54@hotmail.com . Speed Workout sounds intimidating but this is actually good for newer runners. There is a wide range of paces and at a track or short loop where someone new to the group is unlikely to get left behind.

Thursday Track Workout: Joachim, cooldood47_2000@gmail.com

Thursday morning (6:30 am, ~6-7 miles with optional tempo): Pam, runquistbp@aol.com

Thursday Evening Long Slow Run: Steve S., stevenshaffer95616@gmail.com

Saturday Morning Longer Faster Runs: Beth B, beth.bourne@sbcglobal.net . Most do the 7 or 10 mile loop but several take a short loop in the arboretum.

Coaching:

At the moment, GVH does not have a coach. I have been sending out the workouts which loosely follow Jack Daniels' 5K to 15K training plan phase II or III. These workouts should enable you to run a decent 5K or 10K anytime of year. I also go by the dictum that the best training plan is to avoid injury. I do not do individualized coaching, but most runners will find that they can adjust the distances and intensity to fit their needs. If you have questions, contact: Craighton, GVH treasurer
