Roughly once a month, the Whippets are crossing the East River to do their Thursday workout with our friends from North Brooklyn Runners at the McCarren Park track.

Distance runners will do the following workouts (Scott will be coaching anyone interested in sprinting/shorter distances):

First Thursday of the month: 8-10 by 400s (speed workout) with full recovery
Second Thursday of the month: 6-8 by 800s (speed workout) with full recovery
Third Thursday of the month: 4-6 by one mile (speed workout) with full recovery
Fourth Thursday of the month: cruise interval ladder of 400, 800, 1200, mile and back down with one minute rest
Fifth Thursday of the month (if applicable): Wild-card workout
