TUESDAY SPEED
Join us for speed workouts be on trails, on Tuesday evenings, 6pm.
I'll usually post the location, and often the workout too, on Mondays.

The workouts will vary, including short sprints, VO2Max and tempo
intervals, using the trails and hills, instead of a track. We'll use
time and/or landmarks to mark the work and rest, rather than track
laps. The hard efforts will be on fairly non-technical trails.
Locations will vary, using many of the same trails we run on for
Thursdays.

All levels are welcome. We usually stay in a small area – either back
and forth, or a short loop - so, no one will be left behind. If you
want to get faster, you have to practice faster.

Bring water, extra clothing, etc., to leave at start of the hill or loop.

++++++++++
THURSDAY RUN
Location: Hogback/Matthews Winter. Meet in the Stegosaurus lot.

Time: The early group starts around 5:30pm. The main group starts at
6:15pm. If you arrive late, please adjust your route so that you
finish around 7:20pm.

Bike: Mtn bike before the run. Start at 5:15. You can get in a 45-50
min ride, and be back in time for the run.

Question about upcoming schedule:
Would you rather have the Falcon time trial on 6/15, before Mt. Evans
and Colton; or 6/22, before Golden Gate and Slacker?

If you are new to DTR, or unfamiliar with the trails, directions or
ratings, please follow the link below to maps, route descriptions,
driving directions, FAQs, and other information.

OTHER GROUPS

SATURDAY EVERGREEN
The Evergreen Runners Circle (ERC) holds FREE runs every Saturday,
8:30am, on trails, in the Evergreen area. Several DTR regulars join
these runs. The ERC runs are typically about 60 minutes long. They
usually go out for coffee/breakfast afterwards. Please forward your
questions to Dave via the ERC link below. For more info about the ERC
schedules, go to: http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Lodge/7018/index.html
Schedule:
6/10, Mt. Falcon Trail Race
6/17, O'Fallon Park
6/24, Evergreen Lake House

SUNDAY GOLDEN
Golden weekend runs are Sundays at 7:30 a.m. Meet outside Brooks
Field, CSM Stadium, on 12th Street in Golden, and run on one of six or
more different routes in the Golden area. All of the courses allow
for varying lengths (e.g. 6-14+ miles) and paces, depending on the
interests of the runners on that day. For further information contact
Ron Benioff at rnbenioff@... 303-279-6152.

SUNDAY INCLINE CLUB RUNS AT PIKES PEAK
The Incline Club holds long runs, on Sundays, in the Pike Peak area.
They stay fairly low over the winter, then gradually venture up higher
as the trails dry in the spring. There is a large turnout, often >100
people, even over the winter, with a wide range of abilities. For more
info, go to http://www.inclineclub.com

If you are interested in carpooling to these runs, contact me and I
will share your e-mail address with others who are also interested.

MONDAY "WEEKEND RECOVERY RUNS" at CROWN HILL
Karen Voss is leading "Weekend Recovery Runs", Monday evenings,
6:15pm, at Crown Hill Park, in Wheat Ridge. The runs will be about 3-6
mi. Meet at the trail sign, at the east end of the parking lot, on
26th, a few blocks E of Kipling. Take 6th ave or I-70 to Wadsworth or
Kipling. Go N from 6th, or S from I-70, to 26th. Go W from Wadsworth,
or E from Kipling, to the park.

For more info, contact Karen at 720-838-8963 or info@...

TUESDAY MORNING RED ROCKS STAIRS
Start your Tuesday mornings off right running the stairs at Red Rocks
(RR). Beginning next week, 3/7, several DTR regulars will be meeting
on Tuesday mornings. They usually start around 5:30am – 5:45am.

You can either start at the stairs, or park in Morrison then run up,
as a warm-up. The DTR site has directions to RR. For Morrison, take
C470 to the Morrison, hwy 74 exit. Go W, through town, past the first
light and gas station, to the last diner on the left, T and Ts, and
park in their lot. /From there, cross and run up the road, for ~200
yards. Take a right at the first entrance into RR, and follow the
signs up. It's about a 1.25 mi run to the stairs.

This is a "show-n-go" event, meaning just start whenever you show up.
There won't be a group meeting at the start. We realize that people
have differently tight schedules in the morning. There are usually
others, not with DTR, running the stairs. Once at the stairs, you can
ask people if they're with DTR.

A stair workout may start on the bleachers, from the stage level. See
how far you can get with just one stride per bleacher level. This is
very hard. It is very unlikely you will make it to the top, or even
close, on just one step. I've never made it more than 50, out of 67
rows. Once I tire, I'll switch to two steps per level to the top.
After a few times up the bleachers, then switch to the stairs on the N
side. You can start at the stage level, half way up, or down at street
level. On these smaller stairs, I usually do just one stair per step,
even though I can do more. If you skip the bleachers, you can start
with 2-3 stairs/step, then switch to one when you tire. The bleachers
and multiple steps emphasize leg/hip strength. A one step approach
emphasizes more leg speed and calf strength.

Tim Tola is looking to carpool to the San Juan Solstice, on 6/17. "I

on Sunday after the post-race shindig in the park. I'm planning to
drive and have room for 2-3 others. If interested, please let me know
at timatola@...."

*DTR will take a road trip to the Spring Creek Memorial, July 1, in
Steamboat Springs. The races are 9.5mi and 5k, on Saturday. Some of us
will be bringing road and/or mountain bikes to ride after the race,
and on Sunday. John Chapman, former DTR regular, now lives in
Steamboat, and is the race director. He has offered us room to stay at
his house. Let me know if you are interested.
