BRC - Rock 'n' Roll Half/Full Marathon training - Week 6 Long Run

Good morning everyone!

 

Tomorrow is our sixth long run, which puts us officially at the halfway point of our training. We will get started at the prescribed time below in the parking lot behind the Belleville St Louis Bread Company.

 

Half Marathoners – We will start at 8:00am and will be running 6 miles (see the complete schedule on our website). We will run 1 loop on our 5 mile route, but will add an extra mile (out and back) on the new bike trail. We will place signs on the course to indicate the turn for this extra section.  If you aren't familiar with the route, there are water fountains and restrooms on the course. We usually break for a couple of minutes at the end of the loop to get drinks of Gatorade, take a GU, etc.

 

Marathoners – We will start at 7:15am and are scheduled to run 12 miles (see the complete schedule on our website). We will run 2 loops on our 5 mile route, but will add an extra mile (out and back) for each loop on the new bike trail. We will place signs on the course to indicate the turn for this extra section.  If you aren't familiar with the route, there are water fountains and restrooms on the course. We usually break for a couple of minutes at the end of the loop to get drinks of Gatorade, take a GU, etc.

 

Thanks,

Dan 

 

P.S. McKendree's Harvest Challenge 5K and Half Marathon are tomorrow. The half marathon would be a good tune-up for those of you training for the marathon.
