Staff Training Tips
Fartlek: Swedish word for speedplay; workout includes faster running mixed with slower running. When you can not get to the track add variety to your training by running telephone poles. Run 2 hard & 1 easy, then 3 hard and 1 easy and repeat.
Log: A record of your training and running that helps you stay motivated, monitor your progress and spot trends in your running.
A great training Log that has running forums to discuss training, racing and more.
Tempo Runs: A type of workout to improve the lactate threshold; usually consists of 15-30 minutes of running at the lactate threshold speed.
When you do not have time to get to the track, run a tempo run on the road to get in a solid workout. Start by running a 1-2 mile warm-up and then 15-30 min Tempo with another 1-2 mile cool-down.

It's not uncommon to see Rhode Runner staffers out on the roads, living their work. Less common, but not unheard of, is to see them running races in full tutu regalia. That's because the same guys who take your feet very seriously also know how to have fun with the sport. When you come in, be prepared to take a whirl on the in-store treadmill, put there for careful evaluation of your running behaviors. In addition to high-performance brands including Brooks, Saucony, Nike, Asics and New Balance, they also stock quality running accessories and equipment (although at last check, no moisture-wicking tutus).
