San Elijo Track Workout
When: Wednesdays at 6:00 PM
Where: San Elijo Middle School track
Who should come: Track work is great for improving speed and VO2Max for
any distance that you are
Meetup Description: The time and temperature are perfect for a track
workout. I have heard that when you work out in the heat you lose twice
as much fat; I read it on the internet somewhere so it has to be true.
The track is located at the San Elijo Middle School on the corner of
Elfin Forest Rd. E. and Schoolhouse Way. This will be a great chance to
run at your own pace without fear of getting dropped or going too slow.
This workout is for all levels and will pay dividends like no other. You
can park at the access gate on Schoolhouse Way or in the main parking
lot of the San Elijo Middle School.
Here is the plan:
6 – 6:10 warm up
6:10 – 6:20 stretch and drills
6:20 – 6:40 (or whenever you finish) We’ll be doing descending intervals.
6:40 – cool down
These workouts generally draw 10-20 people.
This will be a great chance to run at your own pace without fear of
getting dropped or going too slow. This workout is for all levels and
will pay dividends like no other.
Please bring water and a watch.
