Welcome:
The Bucks County Speedsters is a group of runners
that meets twice a week to work on our speed,
strength, stamina, and overall performance. Our goal
is to improve runners of all levels. We encourage
anyone interested in running to come out to one of
our workouts and see for yourself that in our
community everyone is welcomed and with our
guidance and your hard work, together we will aspire
to make you faster. We hope that you will lace up
your running sneakers and meet up with us someday
soon.

I Fartlek. How About You?
Tonight we did something a tad different. We climbed to the top of Agony Hill (a 1 mile climb), but this time we did it fartlek style. The group synchronized their watches and every minute I would yell out "DIG!" and the group would yell back "DEEP!" this allowed everyone know that we were resting or accelerating. It got really interesting when we climbed the hill a second time, but this time accelerating for 1 minute with a 30 second rest. We even had some runners toss their cookies, or should I say Easter candy at the top of the second climb.
Fartleking tonight:
Kevin, Tim, Neil, Bharminder, Mike, Hilda, Carol, Michele, Carrie, Steve I, Barb, our newest member Brian Loftus, Mary, Melissa, myself, Glenn, and Rob.
Way to dig deep tonight Speedsters! I hope you all had as much fun as I did.
Remember that we have our monthly Bread Run this Saturday at Great Harvest Bread Co. in Newtown at 8AM.
Till we run into each other again...
