July 11th - Weekly Update

Dear Runners -

What a Group! We had a fantastic turnout for both 10 miles at 6 a.m. and 5 miles at 7 a.m. There were plenty of old friends and several new faces. Welcome!

With the early start, it was a nice run and we beat the heat. Next week we have another long run 16 miles for the marathoners and 8 miles for the half marathoner. Get ready!

You will want
1. plenty of rest this week,
2. to hydrate all week long and
3. to plan your run by wearing the right clothes, using bodyglide, bring water and more fuel than usual. This run will take 3-4 hrs.

Access your pace group, if you have been winded at the end of 10 miles, move down and run slower. The benefits will be there because you are building endurance. Your magic mile is a great indicator of the appropriate pace - check with your group leader if you have questions.

Check back this week for the exact starting time. Some of the groups will start earlier and we will have a staggered start. At this point in the training, check race nation for updates often.
