Thursday 8.13.20 @5:30 pm
hills have eyes
This will be coach led run and the focus will be to focus on trail type run and longer distance with some hill training. For those who have a backpack, you can also choose to make this a ruck run.
Course:
We will start at the CFE start line. Run to east of side of gym and south to W. Woodland St. (Past Wehr RV and stop sign). We will then continue west on W. Woodland to S. Austin. We will continue back north on S. Austin towards S. Creek Greenway Trail. We will continue towards Lake Drummond. We will continue our path and take a left at the first fork in the road.
This will take us towards Dwarf Conifer Garden and on the south side of Lake Drummond. We will continue around the lake towards the bridge and waterfall area towards the hill area.
At this point, you will perform a series of four shuttle runs on the hill. We will be running towards the ultimate goal of reaching the botanical gardens center. Estimate the hill into four equal sections and run the appropriate distance and back until you have ran up the entire hill in four shuttle type runs.
After the hill runs, we will then commence back onto S. Creek Greenway Trail back towards the bridge where you will you run over and back on the bridge. After you perform the over and back on the bridge, you will be done.
Recovery walk back to the gym.
DETAILS:
The pace will be determined by each athlete. This can be performed as a ruck sack run or normal run. I would speculate this will be a three to four mile run with some hills and other varying levels of terrain from asphalt to grass.
PURPOSE:
The goal is to simulate a trail type run with different terrains and hills.
Add a ruck sack for an added bonus.
HINTS:
Just run and hit the hills with some intensity.
SCORE:
Total Time.
