REGISTER NOW FOR FALL TRACK CLASS!
Offered by Lake Merritt Run Club for for 24 years and running, Fall Track Class gives runners the opportunity to learn more about incorporating track workouts as part of their training regimen. It is one of the few programs offered locally for adults emphasizing track workouts in a structured and supportive environment with pacers. In addition to the lead instructor, pace group leaders will accompany runners during some of the workouts depending on the particular workout, the number of participants, and the mix of paces in the class.
Class Description:
Fall Track Class is recommended for runners who have been running for at least 6 months. The emphasis will be on how to train to run faster. We’ll work on running form and running economy. The workouts are designed to improve your ability to run faster with less effort. During each class session a brief discussion covering the elements of a training program will be presented. Ideally, smaller pace groups run each workout together. We’ll explain how to use the Daniels “VDOT” tables for personal use to equip you with the resources needed to train on your own. You can expect a pre-workout warm-up of dynamic drills and running, post-workout exercises and stretching. (One downfall to this location, however, is that there are no guaranteed restrooms on site).
