NOTES:

  1. Training sessions every Tuesday night throughout the year start at 5:15 pm from Cedar Hill Rec. Centre (Nov.–April), Mount Douglas Park (May–June), Wild Card locations (July, Oct.), and Beaver Lake (Aug., Sept.).
  2. There are different pace groups for the warmup and workouts intermix abilities so all groups finish at the same time. Each session will feature a bonus lap for regrouping prior to the cool down. Run leaders are Gary Duncan and Shane Ruljancich who will generally alternate weekly.
  3. Do not train faster than your normal pace; don't be dragged through an uncomfortable workout at someone else’s pace when it is beyond your fitness level. It is up to each person to determine their training pace and workout pace.
  4. Each training session is geared towards the upcoming Island Series race, or as a softer surface recovery run following a race. Other races where TNW’s benefit training and recovery include the TC 10K, Sun Run, Oak Bay and other Half Marathons, MEC and Victoria Run Series, Victoria Marathon, PIH-hosted Thetis Lake races, and other road and cross country events.
