2017-18 HOKA ONE ONE Postal Nationals Recovery Training Program, Week 4, Day 6, Saturday workout or early season race, January 13, 2018!

I remember my indoor races. I first raced indoors in 1974 in Saint Louis at an armory, I believe, in East Saint Louis. There was this amazing team from East Saint Louis High, all in Chuck Taylor high tops, sliding around the cones on a hard wood all sports floor. These guys looked like a combination of speed skaters and relay runners. It was so cool!

I have a memory of running a 3000 meter race, over 22 laps in the San Francisco Cow Palace, around 1980-81. The next night, I helped at the RW Indoor Classic, where runners like Steve Scott (140 sub 4 minute miles), Ray Flynn (agent, Irish NR holder), John Walker (1976 Olympic gold medalist, first man under 3:50 for mile), trying to break four minutes in San Francisco indoors. 160 yard indoor track, and it bounced!
