Preblast: Devil’s Turn – Hills with Pills

Preblast: Devil’s Turn – Hills with Pills

This week at Devil’s Turn we will resurrect a pyramid scheme (not Madoff style) last visited back in January.  Read below for the various difficulties (pills) that may be selected.  It’s a good workout and may just have you reaching for the pain pills later.

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 the 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.
