During this week’s run, I’ll be setting the pace for the front of the group. As my returning members will tell you, I will gently encourage …*wink*… everyone to stay on pace. My responsibility is to the success of the team as a whole and I do my best to get everyone through it.
This is our final week at a 2:1 interval for our long run. Please practice extending your run interval to at a 3:1 interval (or beyond) on your weekday runs.
Make sure you have water for yourself throughout the run. We will be doing 2-3 miles loops, so a single bottle should be sufficient with our return to base camp each time.
You will also want to consider your nutritional needs prior to and during your run. Just like your car can’t run on fumes, your body needs fuel. I like peanut butter crackers or a half bagel thin with PB before a run. During my run, I like Sport Beans because I can take as few or as many I need. As our miles get longer, I start craving other “real” foods and I might carry PB crackers with me on the run.
