The Nittany Valley Running Club web site is the place to go for information about races, running groups, running routes, training opportunities, email discussion groups, and pretty much everything having to do with running in Central Pennsylvania! It's a big site, so explore away. Our most popular pages are in the Quick Links on the left. If you want to connect to the local running community, join one of our email discussion groups, or visit us on Facebook.
Note: Our new web site has been online for two years now.
Most of the content from the old site is available and updated to the
new format. If you have any suggestions on how to make the site easier
to use, let us know! Email either Dave DeGroote or Marty Mazur
with any problems you find. If you can't find something from the old
site on the new one, use the search bar above. Much of the new site is
cataloged and searchable. More of it will become searchable soon.
Finally, if you need it, the old site is still available here,
but please let us know if there was something broken on the new site
that made it so that you needed the old site. In time, the old site will
become out of date.

Thursday Track Report: Sprinting Into Summer |
|
|
|
Written by Bwana

May 10, 2012
The water table is finally being replenished after a very dry early Spring. It rained most of the early part of the week, and clouds and cool breezes greeted Judd Michael, Michael Goldfine, Blake Cohen, Rich Harter, Rob Shaver, Heather, Kevin Becker, Lee Culver, Ron Cunfer, Esther Prins, and Marty Mazur as they headed to the track. Less than a dozen today. When will the Thursday Track water table be replenished? Meira and her posse of Track Deniers are fracking with my aquifer!
Bwana gave a new workout this week. One of those "Seems Easy When You Describe It, But It Sure Catches Up With You" workouts, courtesy of Runner's World. This one has us using our *sprint* muscles, something we almost never do at the track. It's the 30-20-10 workout. The basic unit is a minute of running: 30 seconds jogging, 20 seconds at our usual 5K-race-pace-or-better workout speed, and 10 seconds at an all-out sprint. Do that for 5 minutes. Rest for about 3 minutes. Repeat. Most of the Crew did 3 sets. Esther added a bit more. This is one of those workout ideas that you can play with. Double the length of each segment. Play with the ratios. The main thing is to get that short burst of sprinting in. It's going to wake up some muscles that we don't always test. I was sore after this one!
The Spring 5K season is just about over. The students are gone. It's time to start into the crazy season for local running. A 30K trail run. A bunch of triathlons. A 10K in the summer heat. And then the sweltering late-summer build-up to the mOUnTaiNBACK. Are you ready? Fold some track into that, and you will be! |
