Fall Training Video Snips:City Park Hillsdale Hills and NO Stretch
Our Fall Training recruitment campaign will feature short video clips. I am hoping I can get 6-8 of you to help me tomorrow before and after the run.
NO STRETCH TODAY: it’s been raining hard over here with a band of rain scheduled for 6-ish so I don’t want to waste Lynda’s time.
Warm up down the Dalrymple side of the park to the bottom of the golf course to Cottonwood triangle.
3-6 x uphill quarter moderate pace working the hill.
Recover by going all the way around.
Longer cool down is the way you came.
Shorter cool down is up East Lakeshore.
NOTE: 7 a.m. Start to get back for Perk Up Perkins Event
Our Varsity Team will be working with the hard working people at Keep Tiger Town Beautiful to clean up and spiff up the area under the Perkins Road Overpass.
Our part should probably be from 8:30-10-ish. Please bring plant clippers, small manual or chain saws, hatchet, etc. Wear gloves.
We need to try to clear out some of the overgrowth and put some plants out temporarily along the way.
We haven’t done this route in a while.
use the 8 mile map but leave off Goodwood loop. Just out and back.
Water at Goodwood Park.

Run 4 laps of the park - 220 on/220 easy up a little. The goal is to run 2 solid miles with 220 on/220 off.
*use your Garmin/GPS watch to determine when you hit 2 miles because 4 laps is long of 2 Miles

EVENT 2: HOKA HIGH OCTANE HALF - individual event. Prizes for first male and female.
Each participant is going to race the one Half Mile Loop with Challenges.
At each 220 you need to complete high octane exercises before you go on. There will be refs and at each 220 stop.
