We're back at it at the Eugene Running Company this Sunday, with eight miles at eight o'clock. The store opens about 15 minutes earlier.
Our route (which skirts traffic from Run with the Duck 5K): Oakway and Coburg Roads to Ferry Street Bridge. Turn right onto bike path, to Valley River footbridge and across. Turn left, to Ferry Street and turn AROUND. Back the same way: Valley River, Ferry and store. GPS distance is 8.00 miles.
Bring a drink for delivery at turnaround. Weather forecast: starting temperature in 50s and mostly sunny.
WEEK
4 LESSON: YOUR EXTRAS
Question: If I have raced this distance before, can or
should I do more training than this program lists?
Answer:
More isn’t necessarily better. For these months, please buy into this program
of long runs as written. It has a proven record of success. Stick to the
scheduled distances on Sundays, neither shorter nor longer, and take as many of
these runs as possible with the group. The average increase of one mile week
already pushes the safe limit of 10 percent, and one of the goals here is to
keep you healthy throughout the program. Adding extra miles could put you at
risk of injury, and a goal is to get you safely to the starting line.
