Preblast: Devil’s Turn – Danger Zone with a Challenge

Preblast: Devil’s Turn – Danger Zone with a Challenge

Sure it may be raining in the morning, but that will just add to the challenge about to be set forth.  Devil’s Turn will head back to the ‘Danger Zone’ tomorrow which is the brain child of our own Stump Hugger.

We will leave at 5:15 am from the 4-mile creek greenway parking lot at the corner of Rea Rd. and Bevington Place heading North on Rea Rd to cross 51 and start the work.

While the ‘Danger Zone’ (Rea Rd. between 51 and Colony) does has some grinding hills, that will not be the primary challenge of the day.  The real challenge will be to alternate 4 minutes hard (interval pace) / 3 minutes jog after the warm up mile through to the end of the workout.  Find your interval pace at http://runsmartproject.com/calculator.  If that sounds sporty, it’s supposed to be.

Distance for the day is negotiable.  It is ~1 mile from the parking lot to 51 and 1 mile from 51 to Colony.  Therefore, any combination of distance can be achieved by doing more iterations of the 51 to Colony stretch.

4-mile workout: parking lot to 51 to Colony and back

6-mile workout: parking lot to 51 to Colony to 51 to Colony and back

Confused?  Show up and run.  You won’t get lost.
