April 21, Group Effort and Tech Support

Hello WOW 5Kers!

Group Effort Details

For this Saturday's group effort, we will meet at 7:45 AM at the pavilions at Elaine T. Valencia Park (E 104th Ave. and the Platte River) for a warm up and head out at 8:00 AM. This will provide our group the most flexibility for distance and/or duration. You can either go on an out-n-back, a loop or a combo of the two. If you would like a map, you can print one from the April 7 post.

This Saturday wraps up another two week training period, so please have your updates turned in as soon as you can! The next two weeks will consist of one week of intensity and one week of taper, with no long effort on April 28 to start the taper (time to let your body recover, rest and get ready for the 5K). If your goal event is not the 5K, please be sure to remind me of that and I will build your plan accordingly.

Technical Support

Does your plan include intervals or circuits? Have you noticed that you miss your 1, 2 or 3 minute mark? Well... This little gadget might be helpful. Not only will it time your fast/easy intervals, it will work for timing your strength training circuits or any heart rate zone work you do.

April 7, Saturday Group Effort


Hello WOW 5kers!
 
This weekend we will meet at the same place, at the same time... Hwy 85 x Platte River, 7:45 AM for warm up and head out at 8:00 AM.  There will be two options this weekend. 

Option one - repeat the south route, for an out-n-back at your distance or duration. Your base mile markers are the first road crossing at 1.5 miles (3 miles round trip) and the second road crossing at 3.5 miles (7 miles round trip). 

Option two - is a dual loop to the north. The outer loop is 1.2 miles and inner loop is .6 miles. These loops can be repeated in any order to match your training plan. They also provide a great format to practice pacing.  

Here is a map of the loops.

 

See you Saturday!!
