__________________________________________________
Good morning! We are 3 weeks away from the big race and have another long yet easy run planned for you. This weekend will be a little funky because a lot of people will be doing a race out of town so I am expecting it will be a smaller group. Those of us in town will keep our eye on the prize and keep plugging away as we prepare for AFC. See you in the morning.
Good Luck Runners- Jack N Jill & San Francisco
We want to wish everyone the best of luck who are running races this weekend. We have a big group heading up to Washington for Jack N Jill. This is a Boston qualifying race so we are excited to hear the results from this weekend. We also have a few people heading up to the Bay Area for the San Francisco Half/Full Marathon.
Best of luck to everyone and make sure you take lots of pictures.
Week 8 – Recovery week
This week we are in recovery mode. The weeks level of intensity is down and our mileage is down on our Saturday run. Don’t worry, we are back up in mileage next week so take advantage of this week and use it to recover.
This Week’s Training - Week 8
As noted above, we are in a recovery week. Which means we will take it a little slower and easier on our long runs. This is important because the next 2 weeks are the final build-up to the LONG run, with some great long hill tempo runs in between. These next 2-3 weeks can provide you with some very effective training. We’ll end the last week before the race with a Taper (which is also important). Make your long hill runs count. Keep those LONG runs nice, steady, and solid. Start to mentally think about your race.
- Interval Run/Walkers – Intervals go up to 2/8 or 2/13.
- Intermediate Runners –Thursdays are now 7 milers ;) We’re going up to 8-10 on Saturday.
- PR Chaser Runners - You love bumping up! Lots of specialty workouts for you, including hill repeats and LT intervals on Thursdays. You’re up to a cool 11mi on Saturday. See the schedule for details.
