SVTC Track Workout - Tuesday 12.1.09 
DeAnza Track 6:30pm

Theme:  Holiday Relay Social

We hope everyone had a safe and fun Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving time is about gathering with family and friends. Let's introduce a new SVTC tradition of a Holiday Relay Social 10K.  You will form teams of 2 or 3 and the idea is to predict your finishing time in a 10k. The Social aspect is in that we challenge you to form groups of people you don't know well or have not met yet and or of different running abilities.

Note: The object is not to see who finishes first but rather to see who can come closest to their predicted time without going over.

**Warm-up on your own...
6:15p Plan to show up early to get the best parking and the best warm-up; E pace running on your own.
6:30p Gather group, review workout,  group short warm-up;  "loosening up" drills

6:35pm Main Set (will be explained in detail @ workout)

We will have to start at exactly at 6:35 to be done on time.

option 1 (easier):  In teams of 3 you will run a 10k switching off every 400 yards.
option 2 (harder); In teams of 2 you will run a 10k switching off every 400 yards.

7:25 - 7:30 -- core and stretch segment... join whenever you complete your workout if time permits.

Let's have some fun! Also you might want to bring a sweater to keep warm while you are waiting for your turn.


And it was great to see so many of you at the Silicon Valley Applied Materials Turkey Trot! Way to represent!

Hi Everyone,

Muddy's spin is starting next Thursday at 6pm at Cupertino bike store. If you haven't signed up there are still spots left. Please email me (staffan.westerberg@...) or show up on Thursday and hope for the best. The class is a good way to keep that bike shape you worked so hard for during last summer. You will also get a chance to work on pedal efficiency and improve you biking for next season. The cost is $200 for the entire season, once a week through March next year.

Staffan

Hi Everyone! 
 
1.  Looking for the Evite link to this event?  It's posted on the new SVTC website: 
 
2.  It might be fun to have a little betting pool around the Kona TV footage.  We could pool a few bucks and winner takes all, whoever correctly predicts the answer of questions like, "Will there be any footage of SVTC members?" or "How many Viagra commercials will there be?".  I need help with this:
A. Please send me any good categories you can think of.  I haven't had coffee yet and am having a hard time thinking anything else up other than the questions above.  Just email me anything you can think of. 
B. Not being a Super Bowl or March Madness freak I've never organized a betting pool.  Anyone interested in helping me do this? 
Thank you,
Summer

There are a limited number of extra bottles in this custom SVTC Polar water bottle order.  I will have them at the next club meeting (which I believe will be 12/14) and at the Ironman Hawaii party on Saturday 12/19.  The bottles are $7 each (checks payable to SVTC).  I can also make arrangements to meet at a different time/location if you would like to get one sooner than that.

Thanks!
Kyle

Hey everyone,

Sorry this is going out a little late but as mentioned at the club meeting we
will be having the happy hour the third Friday of every month which for this
month is this Friday. This will be the last happy hour for 2009.


Location: Jake's of Saratoga
           12175 Saratoga Sunnyvale Rd.
           Saratoga, CA 95070
           (408) 257-5858

Time: 6:00 p.m.


I will not be in attendance since I am volunteering at IM Arizona this weekend
but I hope some of you will be able to make it out and get to socialize with
each other.

I also want to see if people want a different location for the happy hours for
the next year and what the preferences were in regard to that. Please respond to
the survey on this link so that we can get a better feel of  where people want
to have these

SVTC Track Workout - Tuesday 11.17.09 
DeAnza Track 6:30pm

Theme:  Strengthen those Calves...
Ever notice how your calves feel after running on a sandy beach or soft grass?  While the soft surface absorbs impact and feels great on the knees, the calves certainly work a little harder on push-off.   Grass running is also fantastic for strengthening the muscles in the feet and the ankles.

Note:  If you have any chronic calf issues, talk to the coaches for options before this workout.

**Warm-up on your own...
6:15p Plan to show up early to get the best parking and the best warm-up; E pace running on your own.
6:30p Gather group, review workout,  group short warm-up;  "loosening up" drills

6:35pm Main Set (will be explained in detail @ workout)

All sets are steady L or T pace; with 1'30" recovery between each

2 x
[1600 on track (counter clockwise) followed immediately by 4 loops on the grass (clockwise), L or T pace,  recovery 90"]

option 1 (easier):  do 2 repeats but only do 2 laps on the grass, L pace
option 2 (harder); do 3 repeats of whole set, T pace

7:15 - 7:30 -- Bernardo will lead a core stretch segment... join whenever you complete your workout.

Recovery:  E pace (EZ, warm-up)
Endurance:  L pace; long run pace, aerobic or "with oxygen"
Threshold (Lactate Threshold):  T-pace; approx. 10K pace (short sentence conversations)
Interval (V02 Max):  I pace; approx. 5K pace
Repetition:  R pace; approx. mile pace, anaerobic

Hi all --

Just a quick note to say Vineman half is filling up fast.  The posted registration list is now at 1311 registrants, so if you want to race next year at this favorite venue for many of us, you may want to do that in the next week or so.

See you out on the road!

Fred

We are maintaining the same membership fees as last year and we again have a
discounted early bird rate if you renew (or sign up) before January 1st.

The early bird amount is $60 and it is already set up in the system.  Renew
through the member renewal buttons on the old web site, www.svtriclub.org.  You
have the option of paying with Paypal, or if you don't want to do that, please
mail me a check made out to SVTC.

After January 1st membership goes to $65.

This is a bargain (as long as you participate in something or other with the
club).

If you have trouble with registration, please be aware I will probably not be
able to respond to emails for a couple weeks, but we can get things straightened
out in December.

regards,
Your SVTC membership officer

Dear Members,

I would like your opinion on how we can improve SVTC workouts and clinics. More specifically I would like to know what workouts you would like to add to SVTC's program. Also if we were to add another workout what time and day would be most convenient for you? As always we are planning for clinics (one to two sessions). Which ones would you be interested in?
Please use the survey link below to answer these questions. This is a chance for you to get the workouts and clinics you want!

If you have comments or ideas that are not covered in the survey you are always welcome to email me directly at staffan.westerberg@...

Thanks

Staffan Westerberg
Coaches and Clinics Director, SVTC
