Looking at the best spots from an athlete's point of view:

Assistant Cross Country Coach Tyler Pence has explored the area of Springfield in search of the best places to work out.  Coach Pence is to attend the Olympic trials for the marathon!  Knowing how important training is for this Pence had a lot to say about exercising in Springfield.  First and foremost, Pence said he enjoyed running outside whenever possible.  However, he does run inside the Recreation and Athletic Facility at the University of Illinois Springfield.  He says this is one of his favorite facilities because of the environment!  Pence says if you're looking for a gym filled with motivation, TRAC is most definitely the place to go!  Other places that Coach Pence enjoys are Washington Park and the YMCA.  He says each of the places he works out at provide him with different tools to be successful.
