Wednesday Interval Workouts
Looking to add some spring to your step? The Crawlers, another DC running club, has extended an open invitation to its weekly Wednesday interval workouts. The group usually meets at 6:30 AM at Banneker track, but they sometimes meet in Woodley Park for hill repeats and they occasionally do an evening track workout. It’s a fun group of people with a nice range of speeds. They don’t have a website, so if you want to learn about upcoming workouts and where they’ll be meeting, send an email to: <Ben (dot) Geman (at) thehill (dot) com> and he’ll add you to the email list.

Rogers would go on to set six world records at the meet. Continue reading
