TRAINING
WORKOUT
MONDAYS
After a weekend of long runs, track workouts and races, we come together to iRun Monday evenings for “good times”.

Runners meet outside I-RUN store before the night’s workout
P
erhaps what makes this group so unique is that the core of the runners, whether they are slow, overweight, average, fast or
even elite, all train and work together as one. The fastest runners pay constant attention to what’s coming next, as well as the
slowest, and that is how the groups connect.
When we arrive at the store, Hector personally embraces everyone, offering a handshake and psychological support for the
journey we signed up for, either by helping us pick the right pair of shoes or by helping us choose the right nutrition.We then reconnect
and welcome any new and old faces for the Monday grind.
Cobi goes unnoticed as he heads straight for his bull horn. At this point, Cobi calls out what will be the evening’s workout, which
varies every week ranging from half-mile repeats to fartlek runs to progression runs. The beauty is that if you don’t pay attention, you
will miss the subtle intricacies of where the night will take you.
