TUESDAY SPEED
This Tuesday's speed workout will be at Forsberg Park on Green Mtn. If
it's rainy, we'll go to Red Rocks, Trading Post. We will start at 6:00pm.

Directions: Forsberg Park is located at 16200 W Alameda Parkway,
Lakewood. It's along the west extension of Alameda, ~1mi west of the
junction with S. Bear Creek Blvd and Jewell Ave, and ~1/2mi E of C470.
Look up the directions for Green Mtn on the DTR site. Then:

From the north, continue past the Rooney lot, ~1/3mi, to the stop
sign. Turn left. Cross over C470. There is a large sign for the park,
and a sign for the City of Lakewood. Park in the dirt lot on the right
(past the construction area).

From the south, follow the directions up Rooney Rd to Alameda. There,
turn right to the park.

The workout will be hill repeats – a series of short, hard uphill
sprints, with a long recovery. The goal is build power for the hills
and develop the fast twitch muscle fibers. We'll do the repeats for
20-25 minutes, including the rest interval, however many you get done
in the time. Everyone will start and finish at the same time, and run
back-and-forth in the same location.

Workout location: From the Forsberg lot, carefully cross Alameda, to
the north side, and access the Green Mtn trails through the fence
opening to the right. For a warm-up, we'll jog out-and-back on the
trail, to the left. For the repeats, we'll either be running on the
hill straight up from the opening to Alameda, or, more likely, up the
trail to the right a bit. Look for us about 100 yards up to the right,
by the fenced off area.

The speed work is for runners of all abilities. The group will stay in
a compact area, so no one will get left behind. The only exception is
for beginning runners or those coming back after a long lay-off. You
should build a good base, with lower effort, and gradually longer
runs, before you start doing speed work.

Bring a warm clothing for the warm-up and cool-down, and water, if you
want, to drink between the repeats. You can leave the extra clothes
and water on the side of the trail where we do the workout. Bring dry
clothes to change into after the run.

If you are unfamiliar with the trails at Green Mtn or need directions
to the lot, please go to http://dtr.runuphillracing.com and click on maps.

THURSDAY RUN
Run Location: Mt. Falcon, UPPER LOT. The main group will start at
6:15pm; the early group at 5:30pm.

Run notes: Everyone should take the Parmalee trail, the first right.
From there, slower runners should go back via the Meadow and Castle
trails. Intermediate runners should do the inner Old Ute loop. Faster
runners should do the Devils Elbow loop. We usually run these
counter-clockwise. Please review these options on the map.

Bike/run from the bottom: Start early and mtn. bike or run up from the
bottom. We'll have to start no later than 5:15pm in order to make it
to the upper lot in time, without going too hard.

If you are new to DTR and unfamiliar with the trails, and for more
information about DTR, including FAQs, please go to the link below.
