Happy Friday, folks-
Here’s hoping you’ve had a nice week
and are ready for the weekend. GOOD LUCK to everyone running the Strathmore Parks Run on Sunday! I’m sure we
will have a hill-of-a-good time!!
Due to Liverpool holding a village-wide
lawn sale event this weekend, we will be meeting at Willow
Bay tomorrow at 8am for our long training runs.
This week’s route will be an out and
back to the dog park/threading the needle for a 3ish
mile loop before heading over to
the West Shore Trail for an out and back past the Orange Lot for a 12-ish mile loop. While the route is linked
here: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/6775048797
there are no turn-by-turn directions this week.
The purpose of providing less loop
arounds in the route this week is to allow those training for the marathon the
opportunity to better practice their race day strategies such as fueling,
hydration, and carrying their fuel and hydration with them (instead of relying
on shorter distanced re-fuels).
Marathoners, while we should be able
to use rest rooms and refill water when we get over to the Amp, it is never a guarantee,
so along with bringing enough intra-run nutrition to fuel all of your mileage,
you should also plan to carry enough water to sustain your run, as well!
Things to Keep in Mind:
Team
Shirts!
For those of
you who ordered shirts (forever ago), they are available! If you have not
already paid for them, they are $20 each (payable
by cash or Venmo). Payment is due when you pick
them up- I’ll keep them in my car going forward so they’re available
when you’re able to pay.
LOOKING AHEAD:
Tuesday (9/15):
Meet at LMS at 5:45 for speedwork
Saturday
(9/19): Meet at 8am for long training runs:
Location TBD
Please make sure you are hydrating and
taking in the appropriate ratios of carbs to proteins to healthy fats today
that will help your body sustain its energy levels for tomorrow’s run.
Have a wonderful day and I cannot wait
to see you tomorrow (or Sunday)!
Run Safe. Run Smart. Run Strong.
