The always popular negative splits are back!
For those who are not familiar with negative splits, what it basically means is that you run the second half of a run faster than you run the first half.
Here's the plan for Tuesday:
We will warm-up then do the negative-split runs of 8, 12, and 16 minutes. That means for the first one you will run out 4 minutes then immediately turn around and run 4 minutes back. The idea is to get past the starting point, so you run farther on the way back...therefore getting a negative split. Next we'll run out 6 and back 6. Finally we'll run out 8 and back 8.
As for the route...we'll warm-up from the shelter east to MacArthur. We'll stop for a rest then begin the workout. We'll run from the northwest MacArthur/Williams corner west into the park and towards the lower ponds. If you make it to the hill before your turn-around time, then run up the hill towards the shelter.
The great thing about this workout is that we all get back to the starting point at the same time.
Does this make sense to everyone?

Tim,
Thanks again for posting the Tu/Th workouts early so those of us who can't make the group runs can do the same workout on our own on those mornings. Always like the neg split workout.
