Hi
Congratulations to everyone who covered new mileage this past weekend! The heat and humidity did very little to throw anyone off their pace and everyone seemed to settle into their paces very well and run smart. This week we will be hitting the hills in Apopka, for many of us this is a run we love to hate, mostly because the payoff can be very good, when race day comes around. A lot of the races we train for have hills (Marine Corps, New York, and even Disney will have over passes) and as Susan points out even if your race doesn’t’ have hills, they are a good way to strengthen your legs, so whenever we get a chance run Apopka or Clermont, we want to take advantage of it. These are the links to the Apopka run from our site: The Map is HERE and the written route is HERE . When we are running hills you want to let the hills do the work for you, so we really don’t need to push the pace. For some of you this is your first time running in Apopka so it is important to keep safety in mind, while we will be running on some sidewalks they can sometimes be uneven and have debris so as you see hazards please alert those around you. Like we do in Winter Park we will be running on roads so please be mindful of traffic and run single file and run facing traffic here is a link to ourSafety Rules .
As we go through these weeks of training we don’t forget to start developing your pre race routine. That means we not only we want to be hydrating throughout the week but we want to be trying out pre run fueling strategies as well as in run fueling and hydration strategies, clothes, equipment and Body Glide! The last thing you want to do be testing out something new on race day, that is what these Saturday runs are for!
