Interval Workouts in the Park
Due to the COVID pandemic, AATC’s interval workouts, which normally take place on indoor and outdoor tracks, have moved to local Ann Arbor Parks.
Park interval workouts are held once per week, on Tuesday evenings at 6:30pm. Like our former track workouts, they are short and intense with the total distance of hard intervals being about 3 miles. See below for weekly meeting locations and a brief description of the workout.
We are taking the following precautions to minimize the chance of transmitting COVID. The outdoor park workouts are limited to 25 people, we social distance during announcements, we do staggered starts (no mass start) and don’t run in each other’s slipstreams, we spread out on park courses that are larger than a 400m track, and we are not providing refreshments. Please do not attend the workout if you have COVID symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, chills, headache, body aches, loss of taste or smell).
We also ask that all non AATC members please fill out this check-in form prior to any workouts you plan to attend (you do not need to complete the form if you are already a member. If you are not sure if you are a member and/or would like to check your membership status, visit our RunSignUp page).
For Tuesday October 20th
This week's AATC Tuesday Night Interval Workout will be at Washtenaw County Farm Park again. We'll meet at 6:30 pm (note the earlier meeting time) in the parking lot off of Medford Road. See the screenshot below.
The workout will be 6 x 800m (0.5 mile) with 3 minute rests on a fast, flat course. We hope you'll join us!
