Saturday Pace Group Run Sept 8

Hey

Hope everyone enjoyed their “down time” and you are feeling well rested and ready to get back into the routine. The good news is that we are ramping our mileage up gradually, so this weekend’s longest run is 14 miles, the bad news is that the weather is still hot and humid. This means you will want pay attention to your hydration and pace. Remember that at this point you should be getting your race routine down by focusing on your pre run.. nutrition, your clothing, body glide, how you hydrate ect...and your in run, nutrition and hydration.

Another important focus you should have right now is on what your race pace should be…NOT what you want it to be… you should always base your race pace and your training on where you ARE with your current conditioning. That is the reason that these 5K time trails that Susan does are so important, because it can give you a realistic look at where you are in your training. Too many runners make the mistake of basing their training and their race pace on where they WANT it to be rather that where they ARE!! So take advantage of these time trails!! If you are not able to do the time trails then use some local 5ks and 10ks to help you get an idea of your paces, look here to check them out, and get a grip on where you are with your training.
