Preblast: Devil’s Turn Hill Week

Preblast: Devil’s Turn Hill Week

It is time again to hit the Piper Glen hills.  There have been rumors about perhaps returning to the Greenway in future weeks, but for now we hit the hills.  Bring your opinions and ideas for Devil’s Turn and let’s discuss in COT.

Tomorrow we will launch from the 4 Mile Creek Greenway parking area http://goo.gl/maps/Whecl at the corner of Rea & Bevington Place on Thursday morning at 0515. There are 4, 6, and 7+ mile options available.  YHC will bring his sparkle chalk to mark the way.  See below for the options:

1) Standard Blue Pill (4 miles) – Run 0.75 mile apartment loop, out to Piper Glen, run the Old Course loop and back to lot (perhaps with a little makeup distance down Bevington Place). All this done at a comfortable pace.

2) Aggressive Blue Pill (4 miles) – Do all the above, but instead of a consistent pace, run 1.5 mile at “easy” pace, 1.5 miles at “marathon” pace, and 1 mile at “easy” pace.

3) Red Pill (6+ miles) – Run 1 mile at “easy” pace building to 2 mile at “marathon” pace, 1 mile at “threshold” pace, 1 mile at “marathon” pace, then cool down with 1 to 2 miles at “easy” pace.
