A friend e-mailed me about a local running group that runs an indoor track clinic in the winter months… and I’ve signed up!
Here’s the description:
“I will be coaching weekly track workouts at the beautiful Babson College indoor track. This is a great way to get or stay in shape during the winter months. ALL levels of runners are encouraged to join. If you want to run a mile without stopping, a 5k, a half or full marathon – this group will be a great way to achieve your goal!”
I’m excited!
I love that ALL runners are encouraged to join, and it even spells out that you don’t have to be able to run a mile without stopping yet. Sounds welcoming, encouraging, non-elitist… what I strive to make this running blog! A perfect fit 🙂
As much as I love the treadmill, I love the idea that once a week I’ll be doing a workout indoors but where I’m still actually moving forward.
I also love that I know someone else doing it; hello accountability!
And perhaps I’ll meet some new similarly paced friends, and forge some new running relationships.
Regardless, I’ll be getting my speed workouts in, something that occasionally slides by the wayside when the ground is covered with snow and ice!
I’m still planning to follow Jack Daniels somewhat for my half marathon training this Spring, but I’ll count this winter track clinic as my quality interval workout for the week and not panic about the exact numbers. Daniels’ schedule will still help me determine my other quality workouts for the week.
January 1st, and I’m already taking steps to meet my goals for the year 🙂
Happy New Year!!! May 2016 be a wonderful one 🙂
Happy New Year Kelly! I hope you have an amazing 2016!
That sounds so fun! I’m very jealous; we only have an outdoor track here, so doing speed workouts in the winter is proving to be tricky!
