“STUFF” is our group’s term for what is know as Variable Pace Workout. This the the “Baby”STUFF . We have a longer STUFF workout later in the season.

You can do research online about how great this type of shifting back and forth in speed and strength is terrific for distance training.

1/2 mile is the same as an 880

HYDRATION WILL BE AT Lake Erie AND COTTONWOOD TRIANGLE.
