Each week it seems that the group is getting larger so it is important that we take the time to break away from some of the familiar faces we run with to get to know some of the new runners and help them feel comfortable. This is the first time many of them have run with a group or Marathonfest. For their safety and ours it is important they learn the safety of the road and best way for them to do that is by watching our example…. Ok that is the lecture for this week.
This week we send Rachel off to run a Sprint Tri as her tune up for her ½ Ironman so Good Luck Rachel!!
This will be the last week of our mail going out to just our veterans next week the mail will start going out to our new runners as well and we will be able to go back to more normal start times. Our paces for the long runs for the first couple of weeks will be kept to a conservative 30 seconds to 1 minute slower than marathon pace even though most of the mileage will be 10 miles or less. As most of you have heard us say we are running at this pace because we are still very early in the session and we want to let the new runners find the right pace groups plus most of us are building mileage and the training schedule for the fall races don’t really start in earnest until July… so relax and enjoy the acclimating to the heat.
Odds N Ends:
Don’t forget to register for this session or else we will have to drop you from our group mailings…….
June 16 Track Shack Day: Track Shack will open at 8:00am with special discounts and vendors
June 23 Track Shack 10am Susan will talk on training paces and schedules and how and why we do what we do.
