| Tuesday Track: 7:00PM, T.C. Williams H.S. | |
This Tuesday, Track will begin at 7:00PM at TC Williams High School this week, located at 3330 King Street, Alexandria,VA. Note this this 30 minutes later than usual so the temperatures will be slightly cooler. Be sure to arrive early to warm-up and stretch properly before the workout. |
| Coach Jerry's Workout |
Gang, it's going to be hot out there tonight, and as a precaution we're going to start at 7 rather than 6:30. When the sun gets lower in the sky the temperature drops quickly, so by waiting an extra 30 minutes, we'll allow ourselves to get in a light workout. As always, safety is our top priority, so once again we're going to err on the side of caution and stick to 400s this week. I had planned on longer intervals, but I'm not willing to take any chances, so we'll do 10 x 400 with a 200 jog. Remember that it is critical that you are fully hydrated and that you bring water with you. If you have any questions, give me a shout. See you out there tonight.
Coach Jerry
