2k Interval Repeats tomorrow night at Ala Moana Beach Park. Come out for great marathon Training!

Champion Running Group Thursday night at 5:30pm at Ala Moana Beach Park behind the tennis courts (mountainside/Diamond head side). Charlie, Kengo, and Yuko will be leading the group due to me pacing my wife through a hard and long hill repeat workout in prep for the California International Marathon. Anybody and everybody is welcome! Hope your training is going well: 4.5 weeks until Honolulu Marathon! The Workout: 2000 meter (1.25 mile) repeat intervals x 4. Perform the 1-lap grass loop around the fields in the park two times to get 2k. The rest between each speed interval is a jog lap around the tennis courts. The intervals should be at half-marathon goal race pace. If to many sports teams are taking up the space, then those that have GPS watches can do the intervals using the GPS on the pavement trail, if you don’t have a GPS, then can perform 8 min intervals x 4. - Coach Nate
