Performance Running Group - 3rd Session

What a good looking bunch at 6:30 in the morning!

As we move from February into March, winter is giving way to spring as we can clearly see each other on the track now. By the middle of our session, it is fully light out. Hopefully, by the end of the running group we will be starting out in daylight.

For our third session, the light rain gave way to daylight and cloudy skies by the end of our warm-up. After some drills and using the stands to get the hear rate up, the crew dove into 800's (2 laps). Today's goal was to be consistent with each lap and with each set of laps. Race season is right around the corner, so this distance is great for running at a fast tempo for a longer period of time. Everyone is continuing to work on their form and efficiency. Slowly they are starting to see the gains. Keep pushing hard at the track and hit those runs away from the track and we will have a well-oiled team by summer.
