For those that can make it:
Rules:
1. Your body has responded so far to the training (meaning you DO NOT have any discomfort in your feet, ankles, knees, hip and back).
2. You are fully rested (meaning you slept a solid 7-10 hrs the night before).

Location: Collins and 53rd (Fire Dept. parking lot),
Date: Sunday 31st
Time: 6:45am sharp

Purpose: Long Run in my secret training location (where the aerobic engine is built, and where you get to appreciate the beauty of Miami).

Training for this coming Friday 8th

2008-08-06T09:15:00.000-07:00

Friday:
Gerry Curtis Track. 7:00 pm SHARP
1901 NW 24th Ave, Miami, FL 33125

(836 East to NW 27th Ave (North exit) to NW 20th St, make a right, drive about 4 blocks to 24th Ave and make another right. The track will be at your left hand side.

Group 1:
1 Mile test. To determine fitness level and Maximum Heart Rate in order to determine training zones.

Program:
Stretching
1 mile warm up
4 strides
1 mile test
1 mile cool down
Core session.

Group 2:
Athletes that have completed the 1 mile test, will have a specific running workout.

Duration: 44-70 minutes.

Note 1: Rain refreshes your soul, and challenges your comfort zones, it will not cancel the test. Thundering kills, it will be the only natural event that WILL cancel the test. I will contact the "Generals" (Meza and Mola) if we have to make that call.

Note 2: Please, DO NOT bring ipods to the training.

Homework: Bring plenty of water to hydrate, a heart rate monitor and PLEASE measure your resting heart rate in the morning.

Please, bring WATER to hydrate.
