Racing at Sea-Level: There is about a 22 second altitude adjustment for a race at sea-level, so plan your mile splits accordingly. You will be able to breathe! Be in the front half of the blob that first mile; too slow and you won't be able to move into the lead pack during the second mile. Negative splits.

We will be planning a 5K race on the AFHS track on December 5th, so we will keep training through that date. After Thanksgiving, there's a chance we will be able to meet for practice.

"WINNERS DON'T WHAT LOSERS WON'T."

Covid-19 Workouts Week #1

 Because of the Governor's mandates issued last night, we are no longer able to meet as a club team for the next two weeks minimum, so I will post our workouts here. It is up to the individual athlete to motivate himself to do all workouts.
