Training

Tuesday Track

Tuesdays, 6:15 PM
3-7 Miles, Synthetic Track

Coached track Workouts happen every Tuesday evening at Duniway Track except on Christmas, New Year’s Day, and July 4. Plan on arriving early enough to be warmed up and ready for drills on the infield with whoever else wants them at 6:05, and strides with the entire group at 6:15 sharp. Many runners warm up together on the track or surrounding paths. Come with your own workout plan, or a pick from a selection of workouts provided by USATF Level II coach Rick Lovett. Meet at the picnic table near the parking lot. Workouts are posted in advance, here.

Goose Hill Climb

Thursdays, 6 PM
6-7 Miles, Roads & Trails

During the Summer (Apr- Sept), it starts a half-block north of the Goose Hollow Inn, at the corner of SW 19th Ave and SW Madison St. The spring/summer route takes (mostly) trails to Pittock Mansion.

During the Winter (Oct – Mar), it starts at the main entrance to Lincoln High School (1750 SW Salmon St). The fall/winter route runs roads up to Council Crest.

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.

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 individualized coaching. When Coach Rick is available, this workout is repeated Saturday mornings at 9:00 am. Notifications for that are posted on Facebook and Slack. If interested, inquire about how to access them.
