Alice Schmidt Video and workouts Aug 8-10

In case they don't show it tonight or you miss it, here's an unlisted video I captured from the NBC feed of Alice Schmidt advancing to the Semi-finals in the Olympic 800 meter run.

Today we ran from Spreckels to Glorietta Bay Park... the boys ran down Glorietta (2.1 miles), the girls ran down Pomona (1.45 miles). There we did our dynamic drills and strides. From the south end of the park we ran a tempo 1/2 of a mile to the boat house, stopped for a couple of minutes, then another 1/2 tempo from the Boat House nearly to Pomona Park. At Pomona we ran two more 1/2 mile intervals at tempo pace over the "Easy 1/2 mile loop" (see image below). The "hard" 1/2 mile loop climbs the "hill" twice. The a jog back to Spreckels and two sets of the usual planks, 8-count body builders, and leg raises/flutter kicks.

Tomorrow an easy 30-40 minutes, Friday we'll meet again at Spreckels.

Here's a map of the "Easy Pomona half mile." Actually it's a bit longer.
