Important Change for Tomorrow's Run!

Quick Reminder! Tomorrow we’re meeting and running 7 miles at Lunken Airport so that everyone is familiar with the route for the Mercy 10K on Labor Day. Click here for directions to Lunken Airport! We’ll meet in the parking lot near the baseball fields at 7am. You can call my cell if you have any problems finding the group - 513-325-0886.

Then next week we’ll taper back a bit by doing 5 miles on Saturday (before going back up in two weeks from tomorrow).

I’ve had a couple of questions on what I mean by Pace Run or running at "Race Pace?" Race Pace essentially is the pace you plan to run in the race you're training for – our upcoming 10K or Half Marathon. So, if you’re training to finish the 10K in 1-hour, you’re striving to complete each mile at or around 9:37 per mile.

So ideally you would run that same pace when we do our Pace Runs on Thursdays. A great calculator to help you figure out your ideal pace is here. Just plug in your 5K time and that’s a GREAT starting place.

Here’s Next Week’s Schedule:

Monday - Adventure Boot Camp

Tuesday – 4 miles – easy pace

Wednesday - Adventure Boot Camp

Thursday – 5 mile pace run

Friday - Adventure Boot Camp

Saturday - 5 Miles

Sunday - Rest

See you tomorrow at Lunken Airport!
