Weekly track intervals designed to improve running techniques and speed are held every Tuesday, March through October, 5:50 to 6:45 PM.  A group of Phidippides members meet at 5:20 PM in the parking lot for an EASY 2 Mile Warm Up in the reservoir.  If you are recovering from an event the previous weekend please still come to track as there will be objectives for a recovery workout.
