It was warm, sunny and breezy as John Domico, Tom Cali, Judd and Davis Michael, Mike Casper, Costas Maranas, Marty Klanchar, Michael Goldfine, Meira Minard, John Wilcock, Mark Lee, Dean Capone, Kevin Becker, Rob Peterson, Mike Renz, Andy Maguire, Mike Martin, Bob Shafer, Mike Zimmerman, Tony and Marlee Kwasnica, Ally Kiefer, Rick Ducharme, Callie Burke, Dan Coughlin, Adam Ilgen, David Lloyd, and Marty Mazur headed for the track on Holy Thursday

Bwana has gained a lot of disciples of the track over the years (decades!). And for what Bwana thinks are good reasons. It’s a way to throw a change-up into your workout regimen, to pick up the pace. It’s a great bunch of people. And track really does help you get faster! Besides, Bwana’s burden is light, his yoke is easy. He doesn’t make you do something you can’t do! Today’s “mandate" was a new creation, a different twist on the “front-loader” workout: 1200-(3X600). The front loading is provided by the 1200 at 5K race pace. The rests are short (200 meters after each rep, including the 1200!). Do your 3 successive 600s at the same pace for the first (if you can), and faster for the latter two (if you can). You are basically running a 3K with a few short rests thrown in, and you’re recovering (just a little each time)) from your 1200 as you proceed.

Attendance at the track has been up for the last several months. Today we had nearly 30. Let’s keep this up. Go and make track disciples of all!
