Fast Track returns to the Track!

For those of you who are interested improving your run, speed-work is starting Wednesday March 14th!

All paces! If you are new and interested let me know. I will be there to introduce you to the team.
We are very excited to return to the Harper College track for workouts for 2018. Below is some information to remember when coming to track workouts.

Arriving:

• Track workouts start at 6:15pm. All runners should plan on arriving beforehand and warm-up for 10-15 minutes before the workout starts.
• Please park in the lots to the east or north of the track. There is NO PARKING at the track without a permit. Campus security will crack down on this, so please don't try.
• Be sure to bring you own FILLED water bottle. We will have hydration at the track, but we try to use as few throwaway cups as possible.
• New members are always welcome! If you bring a friend to the track and they are not a current Fast Track member for 2018, please let them know it is $1 per week for the workout until they sign up for the team. (Worth it!)

Workout:

• At 6:15 PM, we will have announcements followed by strides. Strides are meant to lengthen you legs and prepare you for your workout. They are not sprints.
• For the workouts, we will break into five groups. Each group has multiple leaders to help lead the workout, but please try to study the week's workout beforehand. They are posted on the homepage of the team website.
• Please stay in lanes 1 and 2 when running. Lanes 3+ are for passing only.
• Please keep your whits about you. Look both ways before crossing the track, especially if you are finishing up your interval. Runners may be coming behind you. Finish on the inside of the track when being passed and listen to group leaders' instructions.
• Workouts are posted to the team website. You do not have to do the entire workout if you aren't able to. Do your best!
• Be supportive of all runners!!

Post Workout:

• Be sure to cool down for 10-15 minutes after your workout has finished. Stay on the outer lanes when cooling down to allow for room for people that may still be finishing.
• Please avoid cooling down around Harper's campus for the time being.

​Additional:

• Babysitting service is available. It is $5 per child. Please put money in the jar when you arrive. If you need to utilize the babysitting service, be sure to sign up on the website and indicate how many kids you'll be bringing so we can make sure we have enough babysitters that night.
