Training

TURNOVER TUESDAY

For those that can make it, we meet up once a week as a group to do some kind of up-tempo work together. We base most of our training around the PA USATF racing schedule, which gives us a Spring and Fall season. There are no official practices in January and June, unless otherwise noted.

• Tuesday nights – 6:15pm – Location TBA
  • The workout begins at 6:15pm, so it is recommended that you get there early enough to warm up and get some strides and drills in (~5:30).  Announcements will be made via email about the location.
  • Typically you will find us warming up 1-2 miles on the track in the outside lanes running in the clockwise direction
  • BRING (recommended): Water, warm clothes for before/after, stopwatch, headlamp (depending on the time of year), and a fun attitude!
  • If you can’t make it to Tuesday night workouts, Coach Lisa sends out a weekly email with the planned workout for the evening that you can do on your own time.

WEEKEND GROUP RUNS

• Sunday Group Runs
  • If we don’t have a race, we often try to meet for a group run (Dates TBA)
  • Runs are any distance and pace that you feel comfortable with
  • Typically the options include (3-14 miles):
    • Flat along the paved Los Gatos Creek Trail (out & back)
    • Hillier trails along the “Dammit Run” course and up St Joseph’s trail
    • The rolling “Reservoir Loop” (11+ miles)
• Other occasional group runs and meetups are also available at various locations around the bay area (SF, East Bay, Santa Cruz, etc)
