LSRC Winter Running Schedule

It is cold when you first step out the door in the winter time, but it doesn't take long to warm up  -- especially when you are surrounded by other runners. Runners have left their workday schedules behind them , and have come over to L Street to challenge the road and challenge themselves.

This winter running schedule will be for members who are just out for a Sunday run, as well  those training for full or half  marathons.

Sunday run
This route will be posted on the web site the same as the  marathon training route. The course will piggy back onto the marathon training routes whenever possible. The Sunday runs will be managed by Joe Perdicaro

Tuesday night run
 6-7 miles run at 6:00 pm starting at the L Street entrance (or interval training).

Thursday night run
7 to 10 mile run at 6:00 pm, starting at the L Street entrance (or hill training in Newton).

Half -Marathon Training
The  half marathon Training will  be part of the Marathon training Program. It will have it's own mileage requirements, and will have it's own training schedule. It will use the Hyannis Half Marathon as it's target date.
 

Marathon Training
Training for the Boston and other Spring marathons will start on Sunday morning  January 3, at 8:00 am, at the M Street entrance. The L Street training program accelerates fairly quick, by the 7th week we will be up to 18 miles. The first run is 9.5 miles. In addition to the course directions there will be a write up that will give a brief description of the route, so you will  know what to expect (esp. novices).

To make the training interesting for the veterans we have changed a couple of the Routes. There is a new course for Charlestown and Milton and a (optional) modified course for the Ed Dever run

Also new this year we are going to try and have (optional) 4 organized hill runs on the Boston Marathon race course in Newton. It is a great place to build up your leg muscles, as well as familiarize yourself with the hills of the race course. This will be tried in the first four Thursday nights of the training schedule.

Interval training will take place every two weeks on Tuesday nights. In the later stages of training Yasso 800's will be conducted for two sessions.
 

The marathon training program will be managed by Paul Mancuso, John McDonough, Joe Perdicaro and Bill Hartford
 The busses will be handled again this year by Jack Doherty and Joe Foley
