If you're not running a marathon this fall, you're invited to join a Whippets 10K training program that starts on Tuesday, October 26! Some details are posted here... http://www.dashingwhippets.org/messages/boards/thread/992... ...and additional info will be emailed weekly.

Make sure to RSVP for the first run of the 10k program! Marathoners doing New York can and should also attend and do the intermediate stamina workout. This should probably be one of the last harder runs before November 7th, although you can also do the speedwork on Thursday (but don't push it too hard).

one of my last runs before my marathon so maybe just a few loops around the Reservoir. Jeff, you down?

Tuesday workout plan for 10K runners (and marathoners if interested): Reservoir loops (1.5M each). Beginner/Returning plan: 2-3 loops, easy pace. Developing plan: 2 loops easy, then 1M at half marathon pace. Intermediate plan: 2 x 0.5M easy, 1.5M half marathon pace with NO REST between pace changes, finish with 0.5M easy (total = 3 loops). (If ambitious, do one more loop at half mara pace.) There will be multiple pacing groups. This workout will be followed by strides and form drills.

patricia, sounds good; easy rez loops plus form drills; I should be able to make it to The Spot by 7:10 but I'll reach you regardless or find you out there.

btw, niketown is doing their tuesday run (6:30pm) also on the rez so be prepared for thundering crowds.

Anyone down for Shake Shack after the run???

Haha. My English got pretty bad after a day speaking Portuguese. I`ll try to write my previous message again. haha.
I might go to Shake Shack only. My leg is not getting better. :(

I've never been to the UES Shake Shack. I look forward to not having to wait in line for service!

good call matt!

Just wanted to make sure everyone knew where to meet since we have so many new members. We will meet at our normal location right outside the park at 86th and fifth avenue. If you are late and you don't see us there, you may be able to find us at the reservoir near engineer's gate.

Looking forward to meeting everyone and starting the 10K training program! Thanks, Scott and for all the pre-planning.

What if it rains???

Hey Jim! If it rains a little we usually still run unless it's a crazy storm but I think we'll be ok for tonight, looks like it won't start until later.

Thanks to everyone for the great showing last night. For 10K runners, Wednesday's workout is a recovery day. Beginner/Returning or Developing Runners can take the day off. Intermediate runners should do 20-40 minutes of easy jogging or very low intensity cross training.

more form drills please.
