GBRC Weekly Track Workouts
TRACK IS BACK! Beginning Wednesday March 12th – 6:00 primarily* at Sehome High School thru June 11th. Come summer, workouts will move to the WWU track, Wednesdays at 6:00 beginning June 18th thru September 10th. With the support of the track gods, we’ll return to the Sehome track in the Fall!
* Due to football games and BHS track practices, workouts will move to Battersby Field (across from Whatcom Middle School) on the following dates: April 23rd and May 14th, 21st and 28th.
The GBRC weekly track workout is open to GBRC members. Non-members are welcome to participate in a couple workouts before joining the club. Workouts are open to all ability levels and paces, ages range from 13—70+! These workouts are designed to be progressive and build upon the previous workouts. In general, we start the year with slower-paced (“Tempo” runs = “comfortably hard”) runs of longer duration (up to 22 minutes continuous) and we gradually build to shorter repeats (1-2 minutes) at higher intensity (“Mile” pace or even sub-mile pace = “hard”). We always begin with a thorough warm-up, and we always finish with a cool-down and core-strengthening exercises (“UTA’s”).
These workouts are FREE to current GBRC members. There is no limit—the MORE, the merrier!
Location: Track workout location varies during the year from WWU, Sehome High School, Battersby Field, etc. Please contact Coach Craig as noted below to determine the current location. When at WWU, there is free parking at the big lots across the street from the Wade King Student Recreation Center.
