Interval runs are an effective way to increase your speed and are an important component in a run program. It is a hard effort so there is an increased chance of injury. The workouts start with an easy warm-up, followed by a hard main set and then a cooldown. There is an optional group stretch at the end.

2010 Good Friday Aspotogan Ride

admin — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 16:32:02 +0000

It was the biggest group of cyclists ever (20+) for the annual Good Friday Aspotogan ride.

Good cycling weather (12C, little to no wind and cloudy with sunny breaks) and very little car traffic … sweet!

Of course, the post ride nutrition break is always a hit.
