Track Thursdays are Back

Our pause on Track Thursdays didn't last long. With a strong group of 10 km runners this year, Coach Michelle has been able to add speed work into their training earlier than planned. That meant a return to the Russell High School Track.


The group started their speed work with some 80 m strides this week.


Keep up the great work!
