CLUB INFORMATION
The Fast Trax program is community-based. Each athlete follows a similar template, which can then be modified to match individual goals for specific events. We work together as a group but continue to have some individuality in terms of how we define "Impress yourself".
The shop Run Workouts are community based runs lead by various veteran run club members on Wednesday's and Saturday's and are open to everyone on a drop in basis.

WORKOUTS
Workouts
The aim of the workouts within the Fast Trax program is to help you run/ski at faster paces over given distances by training primarily by “running/skiing” repetitions at fast paces at shorter distances and avoiding too much running/skiing at slower paces at longer distances.
Interval Workouts
The interval workouts are completed as fast as possible considering the length of reps, number of reps, and recovery periods. As in a race, pace early reps and systematically increase effort across reps to maintain or increase pace across reps.
Tempo Workouts
The most important aspect of your tempo workout is to understand that they are controlled tempo workouts, completed on recovery-adaptation days; so the pace and volume must be controlled to allow full recovery-adaptation between formal workouts and prior to competitions, but rather than running/skiing long and slow on these days, we get in some training that contributes to performance with short crisp tempo workouts.
Strength Workouts
Fitting strength into your endurance focused program can be difficult as you do not wish your strength program to negatively affect your aerobic development but with some proper planning you can combine both successfully into a single session.
