MITHACAL MILERS track workout Tuesday, 1/7 at 7:15 PM in Barton Hall

Group Runs & Workouts
1

We should have Barton Hall to ourselves for the next two weeks, so we can return to using the east doors facing Teagle Hall until Cornell’s schedule goes back to normal, when we’ll meet downstairs again. Sorry for any confusion—I’m just trying to juggle what’s easiest without stepping on Cornell’s toes.

Administrative Notes

  • Join FLRC! As a reminder, everyone is welcome to these workouts, regardless of pace or prior experience, but you must be an FLRC member . Your membership also lets you enter (for free) the club’s Winter Chill 5K series of races every weekend this month. Pre-registration is required, so sign up soon.
  • Don’t let the cows in: Since I’m opening and closing Barton for this workout, please don’t open additional doors or let non-runners in—Cornell is happy to let us run but doesn’t want Barton to be generally open. Although it’s not a major problem if someone sneaks in to shoot baskets, I have to kick them out when we leave.
  • January Jicker (1/12), Hartshorne (1/18), and USATF Niagara (1/19) track meets: To see how these workouts are helping you, be sure to sign up for FLRC’s January Jicker track meet and the Hartshorne Masters Mile (men 40+, women 30+). The USATF Niagara Indoor Championship is also at Barton on Jan 19.

Workout

Because there’s a meet on Sunday, this week’s workout will be simple 200m repeats with 200m recoveries, but with a twist. Each rep has to be faster than the previous one, so you need to start conservatively and build your speed. Your goal is to do at least 8 to 12 reps, depending on what’s appropriate for your training load, but I could see some people with the necessary mileage and the pace control making it to 16 or more. If you fail to run faster than a previous lap, you can either stop or complete your desired number of reps at the same pace.

Be sure to announce your number every time you finish, and we can all cheer on those who complete the most number of laps without slowing down.

Kate McCormick and Lizzy Rayle will again lead kids 5–11 in running game workouts.

Any questions? See you Tuesday!
