Early morning Greetings from Virginia. Hopefully some of you watched Millrose on Saturday and saw an amazing 3,000m men’s race and a fast Wanamaker mile—highlighted by Nick Willis running sub-4 for 20 years in a row. Despite the cold and snow, a few raced this weekend including Adam Harriger (17:05) at the Ice 5K, Sam Dever 4th at a snowshoe 5K and Mimi Newcomer continues to tear it up in Florida winning the Masters 5K in Sarasota with a 23:03. Saturday and Sunday were a bit brutal for outside running although there were 7 at the group run Saturday. Treadmill was a good option for a few and had Scott Roth not done his treadmill miles he may have ended up looking like the guy who completed a marathon in Eastern Europe @ minus 47* (featured picture). Conditions for Tuesday look decent (27*/39*) and the track should be clear except the out lanes on the near curve. Below are the 2 workouts we did to start February last year—the second is Marathon focused. I confirmed there will be an 8AM group and the normal 6PM group. -Jeff
