Happy Sunday! Great turnout last week! Let’s see if we can get as many people or more this week…our second to last ITP session.
New challenge for this week…we have a new location.
We’ll meet at Lake Newport Tennis Courts at 6:00pm on Wednesday.
Why are we changing location? School is back in session and the track is getting a bit busy.
August 27th Workout
- 15-minute warmup (easy/conversational pace) on trails near Lake Newport Tennis Courts.
- Hill Repeats. After warmup, we’ll meet at the base of a hill, then run up at ~80-85% effort. We’ll walk down slowly. That is 1 repeat. Goal: 3-5 repeats.
- 15-minute cool down on the trails.
Tips:
- Maintain good posture.
- Keep your feet under you by shortening your stride to match the incline.
- If the hill is too long, shorten it by going part-way up (1/3 or 1/2 way).
See you on Wednesday at 6:00pm at Lake Newport Tennis Courts in Reston.

Happy Trails!
