Strength and Speed

Running up stairs takes strength. Speed on the flats begets Speed. We alternated between A)120 meter strides down the back stretch with an easy jog around the turn and another 120 meter stride up the front stretch with B) a 50 meter jog down the back stretch, a 90 degree left turn across the middle of the field and a continuation up the stairs, another 90 degree left, hard across the top ridge and another left turn for and easy return down the stairs.

We forgot to stick the Garmin on someone so we have to use our imagination to see it. It would have made a pretty picture. The start finish area was the Basketball courts. We did core exercises there as recovery between runs. 4 miles, 555 repetitions. We had a stud crowd this morning. It was a thing of beauty.

PRINCESS BOOT CAMP

The ladies were joined by a couple of gentlemen. We had a fairly honest pace to Lenox Mall and around. We took off our shoes at the big lower field at Frankie Allen and did barefoot strides. Everyone loved them. They felt great. We were able to connect with the biorhythms of the earth through striking it with our flesh.
