I noticed that one lap is not exactly a quarter mile, which is unavoidable when building a track in this manner. I think it's a terrific idea and I'll be there in 10 weeks to express my desire for something like this. I want to do sprint intervals but can't do them this time of year. Having an indoor track would make it possible, and Emerald Glen is just a short walk from where we live. Come on 2012, hurry up. Very interesting Tim, thanks for posting.

We'll have to be sure and provide this feedback to the Dahlin Group during the next workshop in about 10 weeks.<br/><br/>Thx, JZ I really like the 3rd option, as well.

The third picture of the elevated track is nice! It would be great to also include tinted windows around the entire track to block out the harmful UV rays. The windows will help give it somewhat of an outdoor feel and will allow folks to appreciate the surrounding views of the park. Wow! The third picture of the elevated track is nice!

I had never heard of or seen these before, and I applaud Tim on this excellent idea. I'd use this several times per week if it were here. Take notice of the one photo with treadmills next to the track, which is another good idea. Dublin residents would absolutely love something like this and would be willing to pay membership for it. <br/><br/>http://www.uofazips.com/images/fieldhouse03.jpg<br/><br/>http://lh4.ggpht.com/_wYb7PcsZn8E/R2fkbjO-ABI/AAAAAAAABig/rDhCtL6ErBI/121620071566.jpg<br/><br/>http://www2.mercer.edu/NR/rdonlyres/CD9EFDDF-F4AE-46E1-920C-B1A0DCAE3A2D/0/CRW_5315.jpg Here are some photos of other elevated indoor tracks.
