8 pax weren’t scared of the deceptively cold wind chill temps and decided to get faster in spite of the frigid cold. YHC saw 00’s suggestion on Twitter that we do a mile time trial to help us set our baseline. I liked the idea of the mile trial, but thought we could take it a step further…

1 mile warm up
Note: If you’re not a Beastside attender, you may not know some of the rules of Beastside. First rule: Don’t run on the inside 2 lanes of the track. Second rule: Obey all rules. Eastside HS is gracious enough to allow us to run on their track, so we follow Rule #2, as to not wear out the inside 2 lanes. Therefore in order to get accurate time trial times, we needed to do a little surveying to figure out exactly where the 1 mile finish line should be. It ended up being about half-way around the final bend for the start line. That would be our finish line for the time trial – 1 mile exactly.

This was once again a great time at the Beastside. One of my favorite workouts of the week.
Until next time,
