What a great run this past Sat. We had more than 25 runners at the parkway and another large group of Galloway runners at the Race for the Cure. We are excited as the new runners begin their routine and learn to relax and enjoy each run. We are also excited to learn and share information with the "not so beginner" runners. Tell us your race stories!
With 4 miles under our belt, the next run on Sat. May 16th will be 5 miles. The season is still new, settle into a good rhythm during the long run. You should be running at a conversational pace and at this point, and you should not be winded at the end of the run. Assess your group and decide if you should try a different group to see if the pace is better for you. The groups are fluid, now is a good time to experiment while the mileage is low.
Product of the Week:
Novice - BODY GLIDE. This will be your life saver. Buy the small size and keep one with your running clothes and one in your travel bag. This product will help you avoid chafing on your arms, under the sports bra, or between your thighs... or anywhere else that you need it.
Tip of the Week:
Double GOLD group (Advanced Runners). This week, try the interval of 4 minutes run/ .40 second walk for your long run. Your long run pace should be approx. 10:20 per mile.
