Missing Link Runs starting this week!

[David William Bitner]

Hey Everyone,

Just a reminder that we will be starting up the Missing Link Runs this week!

We'll be meeting in our regular location at the corner of Xerxes and Glenwood (just East of Wirth Beach) on Monday and Wednesday at 6pm. We will start with warm up drills in the field at the meeting area for ~10 -15 minutes before heading out for our interval workouts. For the next couple of weeks, we will be focusing on getting our legs back under us. For those who haven't been running much over the winter, this will definitely include run/walk, while for those who have been running, but not necessarily including any speed, we will be working at going through "all our gears" again rather than just running at a single pace.

It is very important to run where you are individually at right now - do not try to jump right into speedwork if you have not been doing any kind of interval training over the winter. It is far better to be conservative in ramping your training back up this time of year than to jump in trying to go too fast or too far right away. Please talk to me if you have any concerns about what you should be doing.

Our Saturday run will be at Murphy Hanrehan this week (show up at either 8am or 9:30am).

Monday is looking to be gorgeous out, I'll be planning to head to the Utepils patio after the run if anyone would care to join me!

If you have any questions, please let me know!

- Coach Bitner
