Spring Track Start: Thursday, May 7th
The Boston Marathon's in the rearview mirror, ergo it must be time for GLRR Spring Track sessions to begin. Hurray!
The club's decided to go for the retro look this season, meaning that they've dragged the old coach out of mothballs. I look forward being on hand for the nine track sessions this spring, the first of which is Thursday, May 7th, at Tewksbury High School starting at 6:00 p.m. (Warm up at your leisure prior to then.)
Tewksbury HS has an excellent track (I recall doing a good, tough session of 15 x 400, relay style, there with Tom Doody a few years back), easily accessible from both the Lowell and Boston areas. It's near the town center, just off Route 38, convenient to both I-93 and I-495. Click on the "Track & Coaching" section of the GLRR web site; there's a link to a map there. (oh! here it is! http://local.yahoo.com/info-10106775-tewksbury-memorial-high-school-tewksbury).
I enjoyed a truly wonderful seven year-stint as your Wednesday-evening coach, and look forward to the opportunity to see many of you out there again. (We're doing Thursdays in order to allow a day's recovery for those doing the Good Times 5K series.) Some who read this know others who were regulars or semi-regulars during that period -- pass the word around. Spring is racing season, and in order to race your best you need to hit the track. And there's nothing like getting onto a track with fellow runners on a regular basis.
There will be workout options each week to accomodate varying levels of fitness and experience. Challenge yourself (realistically). You'll be a better runner for it.
See you at Tewksbury next week!
