Wednesday night format returns to Lake Merritt.

The current plan is to use Lake Merritt for a fitness walk or tempo run. The Lake Merritt workouts will be led by Go WOW Volunteers.

We will use this opportunity to improve our mid-distance fitness and speed while also increasing strength and flexibility through dynamic warm-ups and resistance training. All abilities are encouraged to participate, from fast runners to fitness walkers (and all levels in-between!).

Here is a sample workout:

Everyone warm up together.

Walkers - Walking in the opposite direction of the runners you and your walking leader, will be walking for fitness, at a good clip but not running. When you meet the fastest runners coming from the opposite direction you will turn around and return to the start. This allows us to all finish about the same time and keep the social part of the workout in full connection.

Run/Walk 1:1 - Start with 1 minute of running HARD followed by one minute of recovery walking. Do this all the way around the lake. Stretch!

Run/Walk 4:1 - Start with 4 minutes of running HARD followed by one minute recovery walking. Do this all the way around the lake. Stretch!

Straight running: Working on a target pace and intermediate runners with a base: - Run the lake at your 10K pace (from chart). Pace yourself from the get go and make the entire circuit a push. This is what tempo runs are about! Not too far but quite fast (10K race pace fast). Even if you plan to run/walk your upcoming 10K race or half marathon race, if you have a good base this practice run should be continuous running.
