Hi Y’all,
We’ve got one last easy, long FM+2 in this series. I like to break the season into chunks to be able to wrap my head around all of the running. So. Much. Running. These last three weeks were a ramp up in mileage at that nice easy FM+2. How have you done to bring that pace down? Need some ideas to help? Add some more walk breaks. Chat at the water cooler…i.e. stop to get a drink of water the water stop. Join someone that’s behind you. Starting next week, you’ll notice the schedule will go up/down with the mileage and vary with the type of run. Those are recovery weeks built into the schedule. SAVOR THEM! Also…tweaks in the schedule have been updated and uploaded. So make sure you go download the most recent version (has today’s date in bottom right corner): https://goparr.com/schedules/

Saturday Details
This is the last consecutive week of this same out and back route. Again, lots of people ramping up their mileage and this is the best way to WELCOME them and not OVERWHELM them! So we’ll be heading out of Wild Pear with another staggered start…I just backed up last week’s times to allow for the additional mile. This will also be our last week of CORE with Kaylin and Caroline…after that, it’s up to us to get that in! Plan is for CORE to start at 7:45AM. So be sure to bring your towel or mat…as David has not carpeted the parking lot for us…yet.
FULL MARATHON – 13 miles
RED: 4:50 (allows 13:45 pace)
SILVER: 5:00 (allows 13:00 pace)
BLUE: 5:10 (allows 12:00 pace)
BLACK: 5:20 (allows 11:15 pace)
HALF MARATHON – 8 miles
GREEN: 5:20 (allows 18:00 pace)
PURPLE: 5:35 (allows 16:00 pace)
YELLOW: 5:55 (allows 14:00 pace)
ORANGE: 6:10 (allows 12:00 pace)
ROUTE: Leave Wild Pear through the parking lot around to the PB and head down CR 90, LEFT on Northfork, Right on Cullen, Left on Magnolia and keep running til your turn around (HM – turn around at 4.0 miles, right before the turn to go over the scary dark bridge; FM – turn around at 6.5 miles, which is right at Hwy 35 and includes the bridge…twice #routefail)
WATER: Will be at the SE corner of FM 1128 again, which means make sure you bring water, my friends. FM won’t have water from miles 3 – 10.
Please let me know if you have any questions! Happy runs, y’all.
