Tools & Information
Coaches:
Head Coach: Jim
Carroll
Assistant Coach: Rich Schilder
A
few years ago the Heartbreak Hill Striders purchased a new "state of the art"
digital clock for use at all club track workouts. The clock allows
our coaches to focus on what runners are doing rather than on their splits.
We also make the clock available to the Babson cross-country
team (for use at their practices) as well as to selected races.
2009-2010 Winter
Track Workouts
For
the 11th
year in a row, we are indebted to the Babson College Athletic
Department for allowing us to use their facility for our
winter track workouts. In 2006
Babson changed their athletic agreements with all outside
organizations and we worked with them on a new plan for HHS
workouts.
These are the details for the 2009-2010 winter season:
Workouts will typically take place on Tuesday evenings between 6:00
and 8:00 p.m.
Occasional day and time changes may be necessary to accommodate
Babson basketball and vacation schedules.
For members
who wish to participate in weekly coached HHS workouts, we
have finalized a track rental contractual agreement with
Babson. Under this agreement, we will pay an hourly rate for
each hour of track use.
Based on the
fixed costs involved and expected hours of use, we have set the
2009-2010 Winter Track Workout rate at $140, payable in full at
your first workout. If you paid to run indoors last winter
(2008-2009), your
2009-2010 Winter Track Workout rate will be $110.
Members in good standing
who have not paid the
full winter rate may
participate in occasional
workouts by paying a fee
of $20 at the time of the
workout.
Please make out a check to Heartbreak Hill
Striders in that amount and bring it with you. There will be no
price breaks for partial year signups. The earlier you sign-up, the
more you can run.
HHS members affiliated with Babson (students, alumni, faculty,
employees, etc.) will receive a 50% discount on the above rates
($55 for those who ran last year, $70 for those who did not).
To obtain a
Babson parking pass, please complete the parking pass
application form available at club workouts and return it to
one of our coaches.
The first indoor workout will be held on Thursday, November
5th.
Members should
always remember that we are guests of Babson College whenever
we are on campus. All facilities and individuals should
be treated with the utmost respect and all regulations must be
obeyed without exception.
Under
no circumstances should children, pets, or food be brought to indoor
track workouts.
From time to
time we will need to adjust our club workout schedule to accommodate
Babson athletic events. Click

athletic facilities schedule.
