Third Week Winter Training
|
 |
 |
*Monday, Jan 23 through Friday, Jan 27: 3:00pm -- meet at the “waterfall” in front of the rec center for a relaxed run, plus abs and strides on the intramural field...or winter conditioning for sprinters.
Extras:
Tuesday or Wednesday -- I’ll have a repetition workout for you on the intramural fields and square track. You pick which day you want to do the workout.
Friday -- 3-5 x 4:00 cruise intervals.
On days when we meet at the waterfall in front of the rec center, if it is raining, we will meet down on the intramural field under the overhang of the rec center. It’s right outside the “bonus room.”
We meet rain or shine. Every workout is optional.
The Freedom for All 5km is on Saturday, February 4th, in Alton Baker Park, starting at the pond area near the Defazio Bridge close to Club Road.
All the money raised goes directly towards ending human-trafficking. Max Muscle will be there with refreshments and Cross Fit "from the ashes" will be there giving running tips as well as merchandise.
Entry fee is only $10. Super cheap! You can sign up online at:
http://freedomforall5k.blogspot.com/
...or on race day. Cash or checks only on race-day registration. Race starts at 10:00am!

UO Running Club provides the opportunity for students to get together to run, train and race. Most of our sessions are steady runs. A couple of days each week we offer harder training sessions (intervals, repetitions, hills, tempo runs, cruise intervals).
The club is coached by Tom Heinonen, a member of the US Track and Field and Cross Country Hall of Fame who coached the University of Oregon women for nearly three decades. In his time coaching the women, he transformed the team from a brand new program into a NCAA powerhouse. He retired in 2003 to start the club and has been coaching it since.
In the Fall, we compete in collegiate cross country races throughout Oregon, then finish our season at the NIRCA Championships, where we face other college clubs. In the Spring, we enter in collegiate track meets. Several of our runners earn the opportunity to race at Hayward Field throughout the year. There are road races throughout the year.
We have a wide range of talent and commitment levels, from recreational runners to All-Americans.
Club members receive an e-mailed workout schedule for the following week every Sunday. There is no fee to join the club.
All running sessions are optional. To join, just show up to one of the practices or contact one of us.
The Running Club is a great way to get together with students and to enjoy running!
