WOW! Coached Track Workouts in Piedmont, Every Other Wednesday

Starting in 2012 we will try alternating track workouts and tempo runs on Wed. nights. This will be to accommodate the women, who have the experience to benefit from speed workouts and short distance sprints.

Novice and less experienced women will be given a tempo type workout to do on the track, based on mid-distance speed and pace. This is to keep our less experienced runners from getting injured from too much speed, too soon.

Piedmont High School has a wonderful track. The track is open to the public before and after school hours only. Every once in a while it is closed. If this happens we'll run the city streets.

Piedmont is a safe, beautiful place to run. Meet at the bleachers, to the left, as you look down at the track. Look for The WOW Team Women. The workout starts right at 6:30 with warm-ups.

Drop-ins are welcome.

Note: WOW will not send you one reminder for these workouts so please mark your own calendars or check in periodically.

Mark your calendar! WOW meets every Wednesday night, year round at 6:30PM, alternating between Lake Merritt and the Piedmont Track. A modest rain is no reason not to attend.

You don't need to be an olympic athlete to join us. You don't even need to be a runner. You do need to be able to move steadily for 60 minutes. If you can't do this, I've seen women get discouraged. Bring a buddy or be mentally and physically prepared to MOVE.

Have proper clothing and shoes for movement. Bring water to drink. If you have questions about this, please E-mail me with a phone number and we can talk. I want you to succeed.

We're not elite athletes but our intention is to work hard, and we do!

If you want individual attention, Coach Stephanie offers personal training sessions when available. Ask for details...

Easiest parking is available on Wildwood Ave., near the back of the track. First timers? Try to come a bit early to sign a release. Thanks!

P.S. Bring water and layers of clothing. Rain or shine we always meet. This is going to be fun!
