Many runners warm up together on the track or surrounding paths. Come with your own workout plan, or a pick from a selection of weakly workouts provided by coach Rick Lovett.
Goose Hill Climb
Thursdays, 6 PM
6-7 Miles, Roads & Trails
Starts a half-block north of the Goose Hollow Inn, at the corner of SW 19th Ave and SW Madison St. Runners slower than 8:00 per mile start at 6:00. Faster runners start at 6:15, so the two groups converge at the summit. The fall/winter route runs roads up to Council Crest. The spring/summer route takes (mostly) trails to Pittock Mansion.
Friday Track
Fridays, 6:15 PM
3-7 Miles, Synthetic Track
Same basic protocol as Tuesdays, but smaller, more intimate group. Workouts are individualized, based on who shows up and what they need. Perfect for those looking for some individualized coaching.

Locations vary, allowing runners to explore different parts of the Metro area each week. The base distance is about 12 miles, but options are available for runnng shorter, or (for those peaking for marathons) up to 20-22 miles. The schedule well in advance here, with additional reminders on the TRL Community Facebook page.
