Group Run Update

Hi All,

The first group run workout was kicked off with 4 of us. After some fine tuning, we have decided to move the meeting location to the Henderson Rec Centre on Cedar Hill X Road. Gives us easier access to washrooms and warmth if needed! So starting this Thursday, we will meet at Henderson Rec Centre for the rest of the group runs. I'll be contacting anyone who emailed me separately to remind them as well.

I have developed some workouts with hills/grades averaging 800 m to 1 km in length - some gradual grades, some definitely more challenging. Running long hills at the appropriate pace for you, helps to build leg strength, aerobic endurance and mental tenacity for those challenging run courses!
The workouts are designed for both short and long course triathletes, and runners from 5k to the Marathon - it's a good time of year to focus on longer hills for almost any Team Ens athlete.
If you have a 'key' race in the next 2 months, however, please check with Pamela to ensure this workout is appropriate for your training schedule.

We will also do some running drills as mentioned before to work on efficient running technique.

Come on out and experience the Lansdowne Loop(iness), the Cadboro Bay Challenge, Beach Drive Blast and the Uplands Undulation Tour - to name a few!

Where: Henderson Rec Centre, 2291 Cedar Hill Cross Road
(meet out front of the doors to the rec centre - or inside of it's REALLY cold :) )
When: Thursdays, from February 8 to March 29th
Time: 6:00 pm until ~ 7:15 pm

Great ride on the weekend. I won't be riding this Saturday, but will swim in the a.m.

See you all on Thurs.
