For the Endurance Track Workout Thursday 4/17 we will be doing a baseline early season 1 Mile Time Trial at 5:30pm. Come out and see how fast you can run a mile on the track, and then afterwards we complete a few sprint intervals in to complete the workout. The weather will be perfect... supposedly 60 and sunny, with little wind. The purpose is to see what you can run a controlled mile in, and also to re-test in another 6 weeks if you choose. Sign up in Mindbody and meet Coach Pappas at the Track!
