Happy Sunday! What an amazing weekend for running - cooler temps, blue skies. What a blessing this recent weather has been!
For our final ITP session of 2025, we’ll meet in the park across from Green Lizard Cycling in downtown Herndon at 6:00pm on Wednesday for a tempo run on the W&OD trail.
After the run, we’ll have a social hour at Aslin Beer.
What is a tempo run? It is where you run at a comfortably challenging pace - something you can sustain for 30 minutes. It is faster than conversational pace, but slower than a short interval on the track.
Sept. 3rd Workout
- Heading west on the trail, we’ll warm up for about 10-15 minutes
- After warming up, accelerate to a faster pace keeping in mind you want to maintain the pace for 30 minutes
- At about the 25 minute mark, turn around (after pulling off the trail and checking for cyclists)
- Return to tempo pace until you hit 30-minutes of tempo run
- Cool down back to Aslin
See you on Wednesday at 6:00pm in downtown Herndon across from Green Lizard Cycling!
