Evolution of RRKC Speedwork 2018 - Registration Open

/

The goal of speedwork for the endurance athlete is to improve efficiency. This is accomplished by challenging the neuromuscular system with run specific drills and teaching the body to run fatigued with a VARIETY of high intensity workouts. 

RRKC speed work has evolved over the last few years to center around this philosophy. This year we are going to cater even more so to each individual athlete’s goals so not everyone will be doing exactly the same workout. In order to provide personalized attention, speed sessions are limited to a handful of athletes. 

Speedwork is for anyone wanting to improve efficiency, form, run strength and speed. It isn’t limited to those trying to PR or qualify for Boston. 

Our spring session is significantly longer than past sessions. It is 12 weeks long and begins March 6th. Workouts will take into account taper and recovery from races, so even if your race falls in the last 1/3 of this session, you will still benefit.  

Due to the necessity for daylight our first meet up on March 6th will start at 5:30 PM. All other sessions start at 6:00PM. Details for workouts are posted on the Events Page of the RRKC website. 

Registration is open. Go HERE to register for speedwork Spring 2018.

Despite the cold and the wind, training is amping up for everyone in the month of February. RTP is only 10 weeks away! Welcome to spring training :) 

Spring full marathon folks, we climb up to 18 miles this month. It's hard to believe, but in order to include sound recovery weeks, which is an absolute necessity for the masters age athlete, then this is what's coming.

If you are needing a personalized training plan, it is not too late. Contact Coach Amy at info@roadrunnerskc.com. To register for personalized training plans go HERE.

Snow and ice could derail our plans, so as always, stay tuned the website. Coach Amy will be out of town on Saturday the 10th and Amy Stucky will stand in as run lead. 

Lastly, Coach Amy is leading a research project on the female endurance athlete. If you are a female endurance under 30 years or over 40+ years, not currently pregnant and have trained for an endurance event in the last year, we'd love to have your help. Contact Coach Amy at amy@coachamypt.com for more information.
