Coach Mike is away racing a half Ironman Triathlon tomorrow and Coach Rusty is in Portland, Or with the XC teams. So we will be coaching from afar…..
Workout tomorrow:
Meet Goleta Beach parking lot 6:30am, warm up, 30min, strides x 6, begin in the parking lot across from restrooms and do the 3miles on the bike path at low end threshold effort (80-85%) to just past the Turnpike/bike path intersection, take 5min jog, 2miles back toward Goleta beach 10sec/mi faster than your 3mile pace, cooldown 20min or your remaining miles on schedule.
See you Tuesday!
