Join the Golden Road Runners on Wednesday 6/4 at 6:30am for a track workout!

We will be doing a float workout! This is where you have an active recovery that isn't truly easy. You are "floating" between paces. You will go up to about 5k/10k pace, then back to marathon/half marathon pace. We will run a mile at a time then rest. For example, straights hard, curves a jog, or 400/200, or 800/400, for those wanting longer intervals. The goal is 2-3 miles of work. Recovery between each mile is 2 minutes. 

Meet at Runners Roost Golden at 6:30am. From there we will run as a group over to the track and warm-up. All abilities are welcome as well as any modifications to the workout! You can always join for the warm-up and do your own workout as well. Hope to see you there! 

Hills pay the bills! We will be headed out to the hill on 19th at the very base of lookout mountain. This is a great climb because it isn't too steep so you can get some longer efforts in. We will do time based intervals, 2x2 min, 4x1 min, 2x45, 4x30s, walk/jog recovery back down to the start. All abilities are welcome! You can always modify the workout to meet your needs as well. We meet at Runners Roost Golden at 6:30am, then we will run to the hill and perform some stretching there as a group before we begin. 

Join the Golden Road Runners on Wednesday 5/21 at 6:30am for a track workout! The plan is 4-8x 600M. The first 400M will be controlled then the goal is to pick up the pace for the last 200M. Change of speed is hard but great to learn pacing! All abilities are welcome and feel free to modify the plan in any way. Meet at Runners Roost Golden and we will run as a group to the track.

We are enjoying the dry surface while we can. The plan is 3-5x 800M, with a 1:30-2 min rest then a hard 200M, walk/jog the other 200M for recovery. The 800M should feel controlled, closer to a 10k pace, and the 200M hard. This will help with pacing as well as some speed and turn-over work! Switching between the two paces will be the challenge! 

As always, all abilities are welcome and you can always modify the plan or do something different! We are just happy to have you out!
