Sands Cliff Trail Run

When:Thu, Dec 1, 2011, 12:00am - 11:00pm

Details:

After warming up and stretching go for a 75% pace run toward Sands Beach to get to the trails along the cliffs and then down to the beach on the hard packed sand, water line. Pick up the pace for as long as you can when you get to the trails and on the beach. Always go at least 75% of full speed but go faster as often as you can until you need to return to 75% speed to recover.  Repeat at least twice more.  You should not have to stop to walk but if your personal fitness doesn't allow you to run 75% speed without stopping then take a walk break after you get to the beach.  Do not end up jogging the entire way there and back. Cool down and stretch again when you're done.

Jogging = Both feet are on the ground at the same time at some point as someone trudges along.  Running = Fast enough pace that only one foot is on the ground at a time as someone covers ground while running along. Can also think of running as involving a longer stride than jogging. A 75% Pace should result in both feet off the ground during each stride of the run.

Recovery - Eat a post workout recovery snack or meal with good protein 30 to 45 minutes after your workout.
