“Hills are speed work in disguise”. With these words of running wisdom from Olympic marathon gold medalist Frank Shorter, YHC led three Harrisburg go-getters across Hickory Ridge Rd and into the Bridge Pointe subdivision for a hill infuzed speed workout that went like this:

• Mosey around the back of the middle school then across Hickory Ridge into the Bridge Pointe subdivision
• Left on Chasewater Dr
• Right on Streamhaven
• Hill repeat (3 times) -> Run to top of Foxfield Ct cul-de-sac
• Mosey to intersection of Streamhaven and Mill Landing
• Hill repeat (3 times) -> Run down to Streamhaven cul-de-sac and back up to Mill Landing intersection
• Mosey to Bridge Pointe entrances at Hickory Ridge Rd
• Hill repeat (3 times) -> Run to first stop sign on Bridge Pointe Dr and back to Hickory Ridge Rd
• Run to top of hill on Chasewater Dr
• Mosey back to parking lot via Hickory Ridge Rd and Raging Ridge Rd

There are plenty of off the track options for speed work, and hill repeats are a good one. Thanks for running the hills with YHC this morning.

@Pappa John – really strong effort on those repeats

@Big Bird – real good work, we may be on the track next time…come on back out

@Banjo Boy – you looked strong the whole time….it is paying off

Plenty of 1/2/3 F Opportunities:

• First MeCa sponsored NeedForSpeed wheelchair event  this evening in Concord
• Church of God Orphanage painting on July 15
• Kannapolis Intimidators Game – July 20…family fun
• Morrow Mountain run tomorrow morning – clown car(s) leave Hawthornes parking lot at 0615

Acceleration, Harrisburg
