TUESDAY SPEED
This week's speed workout will be at Boettcher Mansion Nature Center
in Genesee. Meet in the lot, in front of the nature center, at 6:00pm.
This is the last planned speed workout of the season.

Workout: This will be a variation of the previous workouts we've done
there. We'll run the same clockwise loop of the Meadow Loop trail.
However, we'll split each loop into two shorter intervals – hard
across the lower section, easy around the southern turns, hard back to
the north, jog the connector trail back to the start. Each hard leg
will be about ¼ - 3/10 mi. We'll repeat the loops for about 25 minutes.

Directions: Take I70 to the Lookout Mountain/Buffalo Bill exit, #256,
then follow large brown signs.
From Denver, take a right from the off ramp, then an immediate left on
the frontage road, US40.
Go ¾ mi to Lookout Mtn Rd, the 2nd street.
Turn right and go ~1.4mi
Turn left at Colorow and go ~1.2mi to the mansion.

From Golden and north: Take hwy 93 S to hwy 6 E, to Lookout Mtn
Rd/19th Street.
Turn right, W up the road. Follow the winding road ~5.5 miles up.
About ¼ mi after the road flattens out, just past the Buffalo Bill
museum, take the next right onto Colorow Rd.
Go ~3/4 mi to the mansion.

These workouts are for runners of all abilities. (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.) The group stays in a compact
area (e.g., short loop or out-and-back), so no one will get left
behind. We run for time, not distance, so we'll start and finish
together. The route is designed typically with the hard efforts on
climbs and/or non-technical terrain; descents and rocky terrain will
be easy efforts. The purpose is to combine track-like speed workouts
with power training for hills.

The speed workouts will take place every week, as long as there is
interest. Sometimes there will be a separate e-mail with the workout
info, Mon evening, or Tue during the day.

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

Run notes: To repeat, we're meeting at the UPPER LOT. You get there
via hwy 285 and Parmalee Gulch.
