Track Workouts
|
LOCATION is LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL at Dana and Olive Avenues, central San Jose; track entrance is on the south, Olive Ave, side of the campus. Driving directions are in the article titled "Track Intervals at Lincoln High started 08/20/07" on the "Home & News" page.
Work-outs start at 6:00; be early to warm-up by jogging 1 to 8 laps. Stretch. Start each work-out with 4 x 100M strides to loosen up.
It's been nice and warm, now it's cooling a bit so we will switch to longer intervals, but still fast paced. For these intervals, a long rest period allows running at full intensity. Total miles run remains 2 miles on Monday and 3 miles on Wednesday. We will continue to focus on running form in an effort to improve body mechanics and efficiency. This should help reduce injuries and increase speed.

Training Schedule
Our primary activity is year round interval training
from 6 P.M. to 7 P.M. on the Lincoln High School
track. Runners of all abilities are welcome. Slower
runners running with faster runners can receive an
appropriate work-out by SHORTENING their interval
running DISTANCE, making their TIMES of running and
resting EQUAL to the faster runners. |
 |
 |
Mondays - speed and strength focused intervals ranging
from 100M to 600M; total running distance, 2 to 3 miles.
Wednesdays - tempo and endurance focused intervals
ranging from 300M to 1600M; total running distance, 3 to
4 miles.
We do long runs when not racing and schedules permit;
usually starting at 8 A.M., Sundays at Rancho San
Antonio and Saturdays at Quicksilver Park. CALL JEROME
TO CONFIRM RUN time, date and location. |
Fall & Winter Workouts
At the return to standard time, interval session focus
on building a fast temp, endurance base. The intervals
are longer and slower, with shorter recoveries. In
the cool weather, by stressing the body more uniformly,
rapid changes in effort and body temperature are
reduced, lessening the chance of muscle strains.
The total mileage will gradually increase to three miles
on Mondays and four miles on Wednesdays for two months.
When school is in session, the bathrooms are usually
available. During the summer break, availability depends
on school coaching staff being present for their
work-outs.
