Tuesday Night Interval Training

On Tuesday evenings, PARC runners meet at on the Stanford campus for interval training.

Time and Location

We’ll start at 6:30 pm and do warm up drills (high knees/butt kicks/carioca), and strides. Meeting spot is the Stanford track (Angell Field) by the Stanford flag pole between the stands. The track is located at Galvez St. & Campus Drive on the Stanford campus. Track parking lot on Galvez St. is free after 4 pm.

All runners, from novice to advanced, are welcome to join us. If you are a first-timer, we suggest a steady aerobic mileage base of at least 15-20 miles per week. For all runners, we recommend approval from your doctor that you are healthy enough to participate in a strenuous interval workout.
