Preblast: Devil’s Turn – Sept. 12

Preblast: Devil’s Turn – Sept. 12

To build on Tiger Rag’s hijacking of the Devil’s Turn, I propose the following for the September 12 running of the 6 mile version. 

Start at 5:15 am from the normal parking area at the Four Mile Creek Greenway (across the street from Starbucks and Trader Joe’s at Bevington Place and Rea Rd.).

Run 2 miles to South Charlotte Middle School (site of Death Valley).

Utilize the running track for the following optional Farlek workout

– 0.5 mi (2 laps) at “hard” pace (individual PAX choose their own pace)

– 0.5 mi (2 laps) at fellowship pace together – catch breath

– 0.5 mi (2 laps) at “hard” pace

– 0.5 mi (2 laps) at fellowship pace together – catch breath

Run the 2 miles back to COT

4-mile option – Start at 5:30 am and run to South Charlotte Middle School and back

Here is the proposed path:

  1. East on Bevington Place toward Rea Rd.
  2. Turn Rt on Coburn Ct.
  3. Turn Lft on Brownes Pond Ln
  4. Turn Rt on Rosecliff Dr
  5. Turn Lft on Strawberry Ln
  6. S. Clt Middle School on the left in 0.4 mi

Sounds awesome! I can see at least 1 more 800m/0.5 mile on the way back…

Target pace for the 2 laps should be no slower than 2 mile race pace. Go to http://www.runbayou.com/jackd.htm and enter your speed challenge 1 mile time. 2mile Race pace will come out as I-pace.

This sounds great. Was planning a gentle run after BRR but may not be able to resist this… Good call HB
