The time to prime for our fall marathon goals is here!
DATE: SATURDAY SEPT 21
TIME: 8AM
ROUTE: Our Classic 3K Rim park loop!
CONCEPT:
- This is a TEAM progression run up to marathon pace (YOUR marathon pace)
- We must stick together at each pace range (no going faster)
- The speed will increase after each loop. You can either speed up to the next level OR stay at the current level if you have already hit ~your goal marathon pace (or faster if you want to chase a fast time!)
- Once you are at your marathon pace, continue running until you hit 21.1K on your watch.
- You’re welcome to add on before or after. You’re also welcome to drop out early if you’re not up for 21.1K. BUT, you must follow this progression to be eligible for prizing- this will be a fun reason for us to run together as a pack while still getting a workout in!
Here are the two groups:
GROUP 1:
- LOOP 1: 5-5:15/K ( until ~3K)
- LOOP 2: 4:45-4:55/K (until ~6K)
- LOOP 3: 4:30-4:40/K (until ~9K)
- LOOP 4: 4:15-4:25/K (until ~12K)
- LOOP 5: 4:00-4:10/K (until ~15K)
- LOOP 6: 3:45-3:55/K (until ~ 18K)
- LOOP 7: 3:45/K or faster (until you hit 21.1K)
GROUP 2:
- LOOP 1: 6-6:15/K ( until ~3K)
- LOOP 2: 5:45-5:55/K (until ~6K)
- LOOP 3: 5:30-5:40/K (until ~9K)
- LOOP 4: 5:15-5:25/K (until ~12K)
- LOOP 5: 5:00-5:10/K (until ~15K)
- LOOP 6: 4:45-4:55/K (until ~ 18K)
- LOOP 7: 4:45/K or faster (until you hit 21.1K)
Write these pace ranges on your arm, and stick together to make this a fun, half-race, half-workout experience!
