Back at Track

Back to group

Today was my first day back at track after taking 2 months off from a structured run plan. I have always had a love/hate relationship with track workouts. The night before, I question my judgment with why I do track. Then….. Wed morning appears way to fast and early and the adrenalin begins. Then after, I reap the rewards of the best day ever!!! Endorphins kick in all day. Life does not get any better than that! Not really a discussion, just sharing!

Thanks for sharing and reminding us (me) of why we do this. I second Brian's nomination! What a workout for your first day back...30x208's :) We've missed you.

Lori you're so cute. I love the post. Brian - I don't mind not being the track athlete of the week but can I also have a zone 5 workout next week!? Yesterday's workout was by far the best track workout I've ever done! I think next time we should plan to stay the whole day and do 200s until there's only one person left standing...sounds like a fun challenge to me!!!

Thanks for the update Lori. For your efforts and for "sharing" you have received the APTS First Annual Track Athlete of the Week. By being the APTS Track of the Week Superstar you will receive a zone 5 track workout in a weeks time. Congrats and welcome back.

Testimonials

"I wanted to thank my APTS coaches for contributing to my recent success in the Boston Marathon where I ran a PB of 3 hours and 41 minutes. Since joining APTS I have taken 26 minutes off my marathon time while decreasing my number of runs per week. I am a believer and proof that your training plan really works. I am now dedicated to my 3 specific training runs (Tempo, Track & long run) with supplementation of a bike work out or recovery run. I would never have believed that I could increase my speed by so much, let alone run a 3:41 by doing only 3 runs/week. I am so grateful for the coaching and support that I have received from APTS. I could not have gone into my race so well-prepared if it were not for my coaches. In addition to my training plan, you help me plan my nutrition for race day, make a race plan that that allowed for modification based on race day and ensure that I was mentally and physically prepared for a hilly marathon course all so that I could execute my dream race plan. I am still basking in the success of my race.

I am so grateful to Kate, Kevin, Jon and Brian for their belief in me. Anytime that I doubted myself you were all there to tell me I could do it. Thanks for helping me fulfill a life-long dream. I will never forget my Boston experience or the help APTS gave me to get to Boston. You guys are awesome and I look forward to many more years of training together."

A sincerely happy APTS runner
