John Swain, from the COLL, will be leading the group through the 1/2 marathon course at Wirth on Saturday. The team will meet at the Beach house and amble over to the race start area. Mary will also be there coaching.
This'll be our last "longer" run of the training season. Feel free to do the 13.1 miles with John and then add on at the end if you'd like to go longer. Next Saturday there isn't scheduled practice (Labor Day weekend), but I'd recommend going about 80% of the time/mileage of your longest run this season. So, if you've go 13 this Saturday and that's your longest run, go for 10 next Saturday. Starting the "taper" process!!
To keep the group together, we'll have to re-group throughout (i.e. top group circling back to catch the others). Hopefully it works out well. I asked if it'd be possible to try to navigate a little with a map, and John laughed :). Guess a map isn't very helpful on this course.
5kers: Let John know how long you'd like to run for. I'd recommend up to 7 if you're up for it. He'll be able to lead you through as much of the course as he can, and then designate a cut back to get you to the right distance.
Saturday the 11th we'll run the 5k course as part of practice.
That should be it. Get out an enjoy the BEAUTIFUL weather! Wow!!!
