Jack (the DFMC team trainer) sent out an email yesterday to all of us who have been regularly participating in the Tuesday night track workouts letting us know that we were going to be changing things up a bit this week. Instead of going to the indoor track that we have been for the past several weeks, we would be headed over to a place actually not too far from my work, and doing a bit of a hill workout outside. The Healthpoint club in Waltham, aka Boston Sports Club - Waltham, or the Boston Celtics training facility, is located on a pretty hilly patch of land, where there are lots of office buildings and parking lots, all spread out over a very large area. So we all met up there and proceeded to do a rather interesting workout, following Jack's instruction as he followed us around on his bike.
I was actually already pretty familiar with the area, as it's really only a couple miles away from my office, and on some of the longer runs I've done in the past from work, I would go directly by this location. Having just done a fairly difficult hill workout yesterday, my legs weren't quite as fresh as I would have liked, but that's obviously to be expected given the scenario, and in my mind, it's all good anyway. It was a pretty nice change of pace, perhaps a little colder than I would have liked, but it was still nice to get Jack's take on a hill workout, and to have his vast knowledge and advice at hand is always a HUGE benefit. He really is full of so much good information, I can't begin to say how thankful I am to have the opportunity for this experience.
Afterward we all went out to Bertucci's down the street for some pizza, and I got to sit near Jack and pick his brain a little bit more and listen to him answer lots of questions everyone has about all sorts of things having to do with the marathon and their training and getting ready for the big day. It was all very informative and I just soaked up as much as I could. He also told some pretty intriguing stories about the history of the Boston Marathon, particularly through the 70's and 80's when the race was undergoing some very interesting times. All very good stuff.
