This is Monday, November 13, 2023.
This is a recovery day for a Monday.
Your workout today is,
Warm-up well,
45-55 minutes of moderate running,
then, 6 x150m stride outs,
Slow Cooldown.
You will note that all during the year, I include six stride outs of 150 meters in our daily runs.
Why?
I learned that from Gary Goettlemann of Ryan’s Sports in Santa Clara, CA. A long-time coach,
a fine athlete and a man who inspired many, Gary passed away last spring.
I met Gary in 1977 and he encouraged me in my running, but more importantly, he encouraged me in
my personal life, when I was having some tough times.
I think of Gary, his son Steve, and his wife, Gail, often.
They were true champions of running in the South Bay.
