Winter workouts are held most Thursdays starting at 7:15 PM at the Lexington High School Field House, which is at the Lexington High School. The field house for 2024 is available from Jan. 4 to April 11, 2024.
Winter workouts are self-timed and self-motivated, so make sure you bring your watch.
The track is just over 11 laps to a mile. It has a rubberized surface with 4 lanes and is shaped as a squashed letter “D” providing much easier turns than a rectangular track. The turns are banked such that the tighter the turn – the more the banking. Overall, it’s a good indoor track.
The is a drop-in fee of $6* (*rate can vary) or $75 residents/$100 non-residents for a season pass. (Note, the money goes to Lexington Park and Rec – not us.) Please note, whenever school is canceled or the school is closed, the field house is not available for use.
After the workout, many adjourn to Mario’s in Lexington Center; it’s an Italian pasta/pizza shop.

(Rest is half of each interval for all workouts.)
