Practice Schedule for October 25th - 31st

All pick-ups at 5:15...

Monday, 10/25
A medium/hard run (a "comfortably/hard run?")
What we are looking for is a pace that none of you is really "jogging" nor "running hard." However, this will depend on how you are coming off the weekend (sleep, etc...).

Course:
Men -- Wakonda -- down Butler to the end, left and around...
Back to Falcon.

Ladies -- Butler to Skyview, to Edgewood, to Country Club (Left) to Continental back to Falcon.
At Falcon you'll do a "progressive" hill workout.

After hill workout, all will jog over to the turf and do the cool down Kenyans.

Tuesday
Needhammer
8x200's just a little quicker than "race pace."
rest interval/jog across infield... as we did last time.
Purpose of these 200's is looking for a little quicker turnover...
Cool-down
