The route is simple: follow the paved path from the trailhead parking lot, "0.0" milepost, to "3.5" and back. There are restrooms and water fountains at the start/finish.
No drink service on course because there are no access points by car. Weather forecast: starting temperature in the 40s and partly cloudy.
A gentle reminder that this new training season carries a new fee ($50 for most of you). You can pay at the store whenever it's open, or hand it to me.
WEEK 3 LESSON: YOUR WEEK
Question: What should I do during the week, between long runs?
Answer: On weekdays “rest” and “easy” are the key words. The biggest mistake half-marathon trainers make is trying to increase all their running. The longer you go on Sundays, the less you can or should do the other days. My recommended easy run is one lasting 30 to 60 minutes (usually closer to the half-hour than the hour) at a relaxed pace, totaling no more than two hours of running between Sundays. Training by minutes instead of miles encourages you to run easily, because you can’t rush time the way you might do with distance. I also urge you to take a day or two off (easy cross-training is okay those days) after the long run and one rest day before the next one.
