Wednesday July 11th workout

For those of you who ran the tempo workout yesterday (or something similar) today should be an easy distance day of around 40 minutes or so. Check the Jack Daniels chart link in the right column (or the previous post)  for the pace you should be running. It's important that you don't skip these easy runs as they're an important part of your training. The more you run, the fitter you become. You'll develop collateral circulation throughout your body. Basically this means you'll grow more blood vessels to wash away impurities and supply oxygen to your muscles, including of course, your heart.

Tomorrow we'll meet at the track at 8:30 for a speed circuit workout. It's important, even during the summer where the emphasis is on base building to keep-up speed training. It's not something we do every day, but if done once every 7-10 days it'll increase running efficiency.
The speed circuit will include a couple of new pedestal routines.... see message below or in the right column.
