Thursday, September 23, 2010 at 1:23AM Todd had a private session with Masters sprinter Bill Shelton so I brought the camera along. Bill is a powerful runner and it was great getting some footage of his perfect striders. Along the way he shared with me his secret to workout success---music!
Friday, July 30, 2010 at 1:48PM Sometimes it is necessary to just let loose and allow the creative juices to flow. Todd handed me the reigns for the night so I came up with a wild workout for the group, and luckily they trusted me enough to go with it. The workout consisted of a sprint up a long hill followed by a recovery jog on a flat that led into a downhill. But the rub was, the path was a small cement trail in the CP forest, that went onto grass and then barkdust (a change of surface as well as scenery) There was no rest (when do you rest in a race?), and the goal was to run consistently for a total of 20 minutes. It was a lesson in learning to recover when in oxygen debt as well as understanding change of pace. It was a complex hybrid workout, and the group ran it superbly. I heard it was tough (I ran two of the loops myself and agree)! Also, I heard, the forest and nice scenery was an added bonus. Check it out and decide for yourself.

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 12:19PM Williamsburg Track Club head coach, Todd Weisse, does a lot of private coaching. If you haven't ever had a private session then you may ask yourself what happens during a one on one coaching session. Here is your answer....
Thursday, May 20, 2010 at 5:58PM With a hugely successful Boston Marathon in the bag we decided to take some time off from training in order to celebrate. Running isn't all about training hard but also about resting and enjoying the results you have worked so hard for. Our Boston athletes suffered through the cold and windy winter with us, putting in hard workouts on the streets and on the wind tunnel track. We all came out of the winter stronger and more resolved. And guess what? It paid off, big time. So, we needed to party big time. So here it is... Train Hard, Party Harder (I have the copyright to that title, so don't try and steal it!).
