West Philly Runners: WPR weekly deets: September 4th

Some Words from the Management

Welcome fall. It's still hot and I want a refund! I'll take another 3 day weekend with perfect running weather as a consolation though.

This week's run ends at Pasqually's again! (we'll mix it up next week)

WPR Interval Training - Mondays at 5:30pm

Whether your training plan is calling for it or you just want to add a little variety to your running, WPR has you covered for your interval training needs down. We meet up at Penn Park every week at 5:30pm at the bike racks south of the western soccer field (if someone has a better way of describing that location then let me know...).

The standard workout is 3-5x 1000m with 400m recovery between sets and the group is very good at explaining that workout to new folks who come out... so come out!
