Re: Tips/Workouts to lower 2K?

So about 3 1/2 weeks ago I did a 2K test and pulled a 6:38, which I think is a good improvement from my previous 6:42. I've been following Terry O'Neil's circuit weight workout on weekends, 10K's twice a week, mixed in with interval sessions and medium sessions. However I noticed i'm starting to pla...

ArmandoChavezUNC: I heard somewhere they offer aid in different ways, or just a little bit of financial aid. How much do you have to pay to be on a club team?

Re: Tips/Workouts to lower 2K?

ArmandoChavezUNC: That is a good point. I also noticed that your username has University or North Carolina in it, would you recommend that university as well?
