Ken Rolston commented on Louis Csak's group 5th Avenue Mile, 2013"Can't go wrong w 200's Lou. Today did 3 mile run on track then did 4 x 200 with Dave King in 45,47,46,45 w 200 rest in-between. Liked your Wednesday workout, too. 800's and 200's babe !"
Ken Rolston commented on Louis Csak's group 5th Avenue Mile, 2012"Sorry, forgot to post a workout for this week. On Tuesday we did straight up 4 x 1200@ comfortable pace, 400 recovery, although as always, the pace turned pretty serious for some. "
Ken Rolston commented on Louis Csak's group 5th Avenue Mile, 2012"Hi all,
Thanks for a supreme effort at this years' edition of the 5th Ave. mile. Can't tell you how proud I was to see and hear how hard you ran. Lou, thanks for getting this site rolling for 2012. I was thrilled for you especially…"
Ken Rolston commented on Louis Csak's group 5th Avenue Mile, 2012"Final workout for the race- 2 x 400@ mile pace with 2 minute recovery. Then, 4 x 200@ mile pace with 1 minute recovery. Short and sweet. The rest of the week should be easy running. You may want to throw in some strideouts after the easy runs.Warm…"
Ken Rolston commented on Louis Csak's group 5th Avenue Mile, 2012"Lou, you may need to connect with Janet Cupo at NYRR. She's generally cooperative with us. If she's having an off day you'll simply have to beguile her. And I know you can..............babe !!"
Ken Rolston commented on Arnold Gore's group Mens 60+"Hi guys,
How many 60 + runners are doing the 5th Ave Mile ?"
Ken Rolston commented on Louis Csak's group 5th Avenue Mile, 2012"That's great, Lou. Are you running 5th Ave ?"
Ken Rolston commented on Louis Csak's group 5th Avenue Mile, 2012"Hi Melissa, hard to say, but you certainly have the speed at this point.Key to the 300 workout was the recoveries. Did you walk/jog them ? How is your overall endurance ? We can find out in the next couple of workouts as we blend 800's,…"
Ken Rolston commented on Louis Csak's group 5th Avenue Mile, 2012"Dave, very nice effort on those 800's. Not easy to combine training for a mile AND a marathon but you're doing a great job. One of the great all time milers Peter Snell was trained by Arthur Lydiard, a huge proponent of distance training.…"
Ken Rolston commented on Louis Csak's group 5th Avenue Mile, 2012"Ready to run/jog the Tuckahoe Challenge 1 mile with Xavier, my 5 year old grandson tomorrow. Should be fun, looking forward to seeing some of you."
Ken Rolston commented on Louis Csak's group 5th Avenue Mile, 2012"Lou, I believe that's a terrific effort especially with your increased emphasis on mileage over speed. With speed sharpening and better pacing you can get that time down to near 5 pretty quickly. For your next race, try to go out in 76-78, What…"
Ken Rolston commented on Louis Csak's group 5th Avenue Mile, 2012"Fantastic workout Rachel ! Lots of strength there. Some sharpening over the next few weeks and you'll be ready to take names."
