Workouts Aug 17 - Aug 22

We had 2 workouts for the period Aug 17-Aug 22 with the "off" days left up to the runners. This is because we had a hard beach session on the 15th as well as back-to-back quality days on the 20th and 21st. On the 20th (Monday) we did a ladder consisting of 2 x 1/4 mile, a half-mile, a mile, another half-mile, another 1/4 mile. The ladder was done after warming up at Spreckels park. We then jogged down 6th to Glorietta and started the ladder from there with the first half-mile and mile run on the grass at Tidelands. The second half and third 1/4 were done on the way back to Spreckels. There we did 10 strides and the usual core. On Tuesday we worked out with Paul Greer and the San Diego Track Club. They did 5 x Zig Zag hill (we call it "snake" hill). Then 10 x 100 and core. Zig Zag hill is probably less than 300 meters long but it's very steep. This was a pure hill session. Wednesday was a recovery run and Thursday (Aug 23) is the 1st day of school.
