When does Tracky Tuesday start?


Workouts start on Tuesday June 4th.  Just like last year we'll be at the W&L track by the starting line at 6:30 to start warmups.

What should I be doing to get ready for track work? 
If you've been focusing mostly on long distances and you haven't done much speed it will be quite a shock to your system to just jump right into a hard track workout.  If you make it to a track then go out a do some short distance, moderate speed, with plenty of rest between intervals.  If can't find a track to run on try adding a few 1 to 3 minute up-tempo runs to the end of your workouts.  Hills translate well to track workouts too. 

Don't do too much too fast though.  Build up speed and distance slowly so you don't hurt yourself.

See you June 4th!
