Training Aug 4-8 and Tuesday Balboa Park Sessions

After two days of easy and long runs we met at Spreckels at 9am Monday (Aug 6th) for a run to Sunset Park (1.5 miles) Drills and strides, then a dune run (about .7 miles). I was going to do several reps but since so many of the top runners were at camp and there were new runners, one was enough. Then it was a mile run back to Spreckels where we did 5 x 170 meter runs around the bandstand and back and the usual planks.
Total distance was around 3 miles but 3/4 of a mile was on the dunes.




If any of you want a good hill workout, Paul Greer, the coach of the San Diego Track Club has Tuesday night workouts at 6pm.
They're in their "hill phase" now and his workouts are highly recommended. You don't need to be a member of the SDTC to attend these sessions as he welcomes the Coronado team.
I won't be going over there myself today but if you want to attend it's at 6 and Laurel starting at 6pm... recommend you get there before 6, however.

Here are their workouts for the next few weeks.

August 7: Hills (2 X Balboa Park Loop)
August 14: Hills (8 X 200 yard Hills at 6th Avenue)
August 21: Hills (5 X Zig Zag Hill)
August 28: Hills (Powder/ZigZag)

The leader, Paul Greer, will ask new comers  to introduce themselves... just tell them you run for Coronado High School.
If you go to this today you won't need a hill session tomorrow morning so let me know if you attend. If enough people want to go today, I can drive but can only take 4 in my wagon.

-Coach Green
