Thanks for a Great Season!

The marathon season is over and with that we are officialy closed for spring and summer. Training will resume in August for those wanting to run Rock N Roll Arizona. We'll work with you on a one-on-one basis if you are interested in running a fall marathon. We will do some group fun runs this spring and summer so check back from time to time and feel free to contact me anytime.

Regards,

Brian Craze

Schedule for Saturday 9/16/06

Hey Team! Can you feel the chill in the air? Me neither, but I keep hoping! We’ll be at Desert Foothills Park this Saturday, September 16th. We’ll start running at 6:00 am so please be a little early to get signed in and take care of any other issues. We have a bunch of new runners joining us so please make sure you welcome them and get to know as many as you can.

 

Saturday is Magic Mile day for most runners. The Magic Mile is simply a timed mile run that gives us a good picture of what you are capable of running the marathon or ½ marathon in. More importantly, it tells us what your long run training pace should be. If this is your first time running the magic mile, or MM, make sure you give it a good effort, but don’t over do it. Run, walk or crawl through it, it doesn’t much matter but just get to the end. The next time you do it; you’ll have a better feel for it and can go a little faster. We’ll start with a 1-2 mile warm up, run the MM and then cool down with mile. Once we have the times down, you’ll be assigned to a Pace Group, given a training schedule and we’ll be on our way! If you have done this with us before, then you know what to expect. Give it a good effort and try to better your time from the last one.

 

If you are new to the program and haven’t received you training log and book, please see me after the run. See you Saturday!
