The Workout so Nice, They Ran it Twice

This weeks CBTC practice has been moved to Tuesday at 630. We are going to repeat the workout from last week before moving on to some shorter faster stuff next week. It should be great. Peace out.

ITS GO TIME!

Just a couple more weeks of long intervals then on to some speedier stuff. Which means that this week, we're looking 400 right in the eye. 400, 150, 300, 150, 200, 150. Its gonna be tough. Its gonna be long. Its gonna be dope! See you at 630 (have a light lunch).

Brimming With Pride - Chase Brooklyn Gets Happy

Four members of the Chase Brooklyn Track Club competed in the Gay Pride race yesterday morning in Central park. It was a grueling hilly five miles, but lucky for me, I came out on top! Best finisher Richelle ran 38.35, followed by Ran in 39.09. Aude ran a great time of 40.04, and your heavy weight contender, at 195lbs, split 745, 730, 805, 755, 823 for 39.33. Great race CBTC. I can't wait for the next one!

Tough Guys Only

'Guys' being gender neutral. We are running in the rain tomorrow. Its supposed to be warm and wet. We'll see how the track looks before coming up with a workout.

Get Your Mind Right!

We's-a-racing! 9:00 a.m. / Front Runners New York Lesbian and Gay Pride Run / is in effect! (C'mon. Its just the first race I came across now that I'm healthy). There is prize money if you want to register and think you can win. I'm just sliding in (ha!). See you for 5m at 9 on sat.

Not Rain Nor Wind Nor Sleet Nor Snow

Ok. I won't practice in sleet or snow. But we were prepared to practice in the rain and wind yesterday. Fortunately for us, the track Gods pushed the storm past sixth street before we got there. We did have to deal with a flooded track, but at least it was sunny. We had 200m to work with and boy did we work with it. 6x200 in 32ish. We weren't looking forward to it, but we're glad we did it (keep that in mind for next week).

You Got That Right!

Yes friends.  We are on.  And we have a welcome back treat for all those who have missed the last few weeks.  2x3,2x2,2x150 (ok.  we'll modify it for some).  See you on the track.

The Tremendousness Continues - at CBTC

WOW! What an effort. Monday's workout was 3x250, 2x150, and we killed it. We didn't look this good until August last year. I can't wait to see what this team can do this coming Monday.

The Tenacious Chase Brooklyn

This club has been ravaged by vacation, injury, work, fat, depression, babies, laziness, age and holidays - yet we persist. Track and Field doesn't have the cache of other sports- yet we press on. Sprinting hurts - yet we persevere.

This week's athletes of the week are Noelle and Theo. They had a tremendous workout and showed me why we keep doing this.

Keep wait to see you guys on Monday!

We are on tomorrow, June 1st, More to Follow

Just Another Manic Monday

Good Evening CBTC,
For Monday's workout we are going to just about repeat what we did last week. 6x200m with 3 minutes rest between reps. Bring your watches. We are going to base the times for the next month of workouts on the times you run tomorrow. The weather looks good. I look forward to seeing you out there.

Its Hard to Feel the Excitement from the Couch!

The weather wasn't too bad. A tshirt, long sleeve and trash bag made the evening quite nice. But what was better was the tremendous workout we had. It was that first workout where you start to remember why you like this. Why you're out there. Not yet too difficult, but the rhythm and camaraderie made it feel just right. And just right it was. We did 1000m, broken up as 5 200s with 3 minutes rest. For me, 33s was the perfect pace (i couldn't have done a 6th in 33). I started to feel that familiar burn, and I liked it.

Rain or shine, practice is on. 5x2, 35s, 3min rest for the lead group. All comers welcome. The workout will be modified for those that are new to the sport.

Welcome to the Chase Brooklyn Track Club Information and Correspondence Center

We've had two great weeks at CBTC. Hope to see you out there soon!
