The marathon group is scheduled for 25-26 miles and the mini group has 12-13 on the agenda. The course this week is a 13 mile out and back, so if you are planning to do either 25 or 12, please don’t forget to turn around a little early.
Here is a refresher of what we have left for mileage this year:
10/1 = 25-26 miles (12-13 mini)
10/8 = 16 miles (10 mini)
10/15 = 10 miles (8 mini)
From 10/22 to 11/19 we plan to have a 10 mile course each weekend just to help keep your base up. Those competing in the Big Hit 1/2 marathon or the Louisville Sports Commission 1/2 marathon can add a mile or two before or after the 10 mile course to get some extra mileage in. We plan to continue running through the month of November with the exception of 10/30 & 11/12 for the half marathons.
Here is another reminder about what you should be doing during the week. Mini marathon people are running two days during the week (with one being at predicted mini marathon pace and the other one minute per mile slower). Each run should be 30-45 minutes long. On the other hand, marathoners should be running three times per week (two runs at predicted marathon pace and one run one minute per mile slower) Try to schedule the runs with the slower pace on Monday (40-55 minutes) and the other race pace runs on Tuesday (25-35 minutes) and Thursday (40-55 minutes). Always try to take Friday off to prepare for our Saturday training.
