Fw: BRC Go St Louis Marathon / Half Marathon Pasta Dinner

Happy Easter Everyone!

As we have mentioned previously, there will be a pasta dinner this Saturday (April 14th) for the Go St Louis Marathon / Half-Marathon. Please see the details below. Sorry for the late notice, but we'd like to know no later than Wednesday evening whether or not you are coming.

BRC Pasta Dinner

 

When: April 14^th at 6:00pm

Who: BRC members and their family. You don't have to be running the race to join us.

Where: Papa Vitos, 318 East Washington, Belleville, IL (http://www.mypapavitos.com/)

What: A high carbohydrate dinner to prepare for the Go St Louis Marathon/Half Marathon and some friendly conversation to help quell your fears about the race the next day.

How Much: The cost is $9.99/person which includes pasta (spaghetti w/ meatballs), bread, and a salad. I'll find out about kids, but I'd imagine we'd be able to order off the menu separately for them.

RSVP: Please RSVP to brc@bellevillerunningclub.com no later than Wednesday evening with how many people will be attending.

Good afternoon everyone!

 

Saturday will be our week 10 long run for the Go St Louis Marathon. We will get started at the prescribed times below in the parking lot behind the Belleville St Louis Bread Company.

 

Half Marathoners – We will start at 8:00am and will be running 8 miles (see schedule). We will run 1 loop on our 5 mile route and 1 loop on our 3 mile route.

 

Marathoners – We will start at 7:10am and are scheduled to run 12 miles (see schedule). However, we'll go ahead and make it 13 miles just for the fun of it and run 2 loops on our 5 mile route and 1 loop on our 3 mile route.

Fw: Go St Louis Marathon / Half Marathon Training - Week 9 Long Run

Good afternoon everyone!

 

Saturday will be our week 9 long run for the Go St Louis Marathon. We will get started at the prescribed times below in the parking lot behind the Belleville St Louis Bread Company.

 

This is our longest run of the training schedule and is a good time for a dry run of race day. If you haven't already, try out your planned pre-race meals on Friday night and Saturday morning. You may also want to try using some energy gels during the run if you haven't already.  

 

Half Marathoners – We will start at 8:00am and will be running 10 miles (see schedule). We will run 2 loops on our 5 mile route.

 

Marathoners – We will start at 7:10am and will be running 20 miles (see schedule). We will run 4 loops on our 5 mile route.

 

Thanks,

Toby and Dan 

P.S. We'd like to schedule a pasta dinner for the night before the race if there is sufficient interest. We held the dinner at Papa Vito's the night before the Rock n Roll Marathon and it seemed to go over pretty well. So, is anyone interested?

Fw: Go St Louis Marathon / Half Marathon Training - Week 8 Long Run

Good afternoon everyone!

 

Tomorrow is our eighth long run.  However, many of us (including Toby and I) will be running the St. Patrick's Day Parade Run tomorrow morning and will not be at the BRC run.

 

The BRC run 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 7 miles (see schedule). We will run 1 loop on our 5 mile route and then 2 miles by running to Southside Park and back. 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 are scheduled to run 14 miles (see schedule).

 

Thanks,

Toby and Dan
