👇🏼TAMALPA TUESDAY TRACK👇🏼
👉🏽San Rafael High 5:30am.👈🏼

💥We're about a week out from the new Tamalpa Memorial Day 5-Mile Race https://runsignup.com/Race/CA/Novato/MarinMemorial5Mile
(which is also a great tune-up for the Dipsea, if you are participating in the annual migration from Mill Valley to Stinson).

This workout is one to prepare for the 5-mile race, the upcoming Dipsea, or just to keep you fast and fit!

⏰️Meet at 5:30am at San Rafael High School

🌞warm-up:
At least 1600m (4 laps) easy pace, reverse direction.

🦵🏽pre-workout
DRILLS!
- high knee skips
- open/close the gate
- carioca (over/unders)
- butt kickers (kick from below, not from behind)
- high knees to a strider
Two laps of jogging the curves and striding the 100m straights.

🔥main workout:
4x1200m: first three are at goal 5-mile pace, the last one at goal 5k pace. In between each is a 400m easy lap.
Then 4x200m fast, but relaxed. Jog a 200m before each so that each fast 200 finishes at the end of the home stretch.

🌬cool-down:
4 laps in the reverse direction.

With warm-up and cool-down this will be 7 miles total around the track.

🔥Tamalpa Headlands 50k registration is filling fast, but the race to watch isn't the 50k. It's the Kid's One Mile Challenge!💥

Since taking over the reins in ‘24, I was hesitant to get too far ahead of myself with a Kid's Race after the 50k start. Resources were tight and my main focus was on the long course. Regardless, I slapped it together and was rewarded with one of the highlights of the day. We had two runners. And that's all you need for a race!

Last year with a little more planning, we had six competitors toe the line. This was their day and, as I say way too much, it was AWESOME!

This year's event will be bigger, badder, and more awesomer!🤘🏽 My goal now is to make this the marquee event of the day. 😉 I might even need to hold the race on Sunday just to accommodate for the extra traffic. Is there a USATF Kid's One Mile Championship?! There should be.

Just to pump you up, here's how it went down. The Kid's One Mile Challenge registration is open! It's 👉🏽free👈🏽and I guarantee that the course will be car free!🙃 Signup link is in our bio.

🎸The music is from the local 90's Funk/Thrash/Rock legends Psychafunkapus. I can't even tell you how many dance-sweaty shows I saw. If any of them ever see this, I hope they approve.🤟🏽

TAMALPA FLASHBACK TUESDAY TRACK!

We will be back at San Rafael High School gettin' totally tubular! (and there are no games scheduled for Tue 4/14 either) Dig up your adove short and wear your 80's Tamalpa gear if you got it!🕺🏽💃🏼

💥This current track workout cycle is building us up for the return of the Tamalpa Memorial Day Race. Registration link is in our bio.
Instead of 10k, this is a 5-mile, and is on a flat, fast, out-and-back course.🏃‍♀️🏃🏼💨

🌞warm-up:
At least 1600m (4 laps) easy pace, reverse direction.

🦵🏽💪🏽pre-workout
DRILLS!
- high knee skips
- open/close the gate
- carioca (over/unders)
- butt kickers (kick from below, not from behind)
- high knees to a strider

After the drills we will do two laps of jogging the curves and striding the 100m straights.

🔥main workout:
4x1000m threshold, starting at aerobic pace and bringing it down to a goal race 5k/5M race pace for the final interval.
Start by jogging 200m to the end of the backstretch. Run 1000m (2.5 laps) at threshold pace, walk the first 100m, then jog the next 100m to the start of the next 1000m interval. Complete a total of 4, each one slightly faster than the previous. Start the first one very controlled!

Here is a threshold pace table for reference based on your current or estimated 5k race time (be honest with your time!):
5K Time Threshold Mile Pace Threshold 400m
17:00 5:45–5:50 1:26–1:28
18:00 6:05–6:10 1:31–1:32
19:00 6:25–6:30 1:36–1:37
20:00 6:45–6:50 1:41–1:42
21:00 7:05–7:10 1:46–1:47
22:00 7:25–7:30 1:51–1:52
23:00 7:45–7:50 1:56–1:57
24:00 8:05–8:10 2:01–2:02
25:00 8:25–8:30 2:06–2:07

Finish with 4x100m striders: walk to the start of the homestretch and return with a strider; repeat 3 more times.

🌬cool down:
4 laps in the reverse direction.
