Polo Fields

Today I spoke with a former college track teammate and friend who is in the hospital after recently receiving a stem cell transplant to win the battle with Leukemia. He commented that it was nothing compared to some of the work-outs that our coach used to inflict upon us. We specifically recalled the "Polo Fields", a work out that consisted of:
  • 3 mile warm-up to the Polo Fields
  • 10 repeats of 1/2 mile in 2 minutes and 20 seconds
  • 3 mile warm down back to campus

We laughed together that the hardest part was always the run home. It consisted of more walking than running, but we always finished.

Steve, you'll finish this workout as well...its nothing compared to the Polo Fields.
