BUAEC/CSU Speed Clinic Participants - Note from Coach for January 8th

BUAEC/CSU Speed Workout Participants a Note from Coach Noel for January 8th

With three weeks of of track workouts behind us and then two weeks off - we will not progress so sharply with intensity or duration until next week, allowing everyone to adjust. The following week will modify the plan and have more of a split workout for short/longer distance prep.

Next week January 15th there is a BU track meet that conflicts with our session. i would like to move the workouts to Tuesday evening January 13th 7:00pm instead, to keep continuity and consistency as we transition into the new year. We can discuss this on Thursday as a group. The other option would be to extend the program to April 9th and skip next week - I’m hesitant to lose another week so soon. ~Noel

How many times, upon mentioning to family or friends that you’re a runner, do you hear a reply including the comment “Isn’t that tough you your knees…”, etc. Well here’s some ammunition from the popular media to turn the tables….
