This class is for experienced runners who have been running several years and want to improve their race times. The emphasis will be on increasing speed and the class will meet weekly to train. The training will consist of track workouts designed to improve running economy, and the ability to run at maximum effort. During each class session, a brief discussion covering the elements of the training program will be presented, followed by a workout. The workouts will be tailored to the abilities of each runner. Much of the class material, will be based on the material in the book, "Daniels' Running Formula." You will be taught how to use his "VDOT" tables for doing workouts on your own.
