Route: This week's route will take runners from the confines of Central Park to the wilds of Randall's Island, the industrial landscape of Long Island City, and back over the engineering marvel that is the 59th St Bridge.
Reminder: Please post your pace and expected distance when RSVPing.
Weekend runs are always defined by the run leaders and the distance may vary according to their plans. That said, here are some recommended workouts for the weekend of March 16-17...
BOSTON marathoners: 16M @ 5% slower than marathon pace
NEW JERSEY marathoners: 16M @ 5% slower than marathon pace
BROOKLYN HALF competitors: 10-14M @ long run pace
SCOTLAND 10K competitors: 10-13M @ long run pace
IF BUILDING A BASE: 6-9M @ easy or long run pace
Long run pace is slightly faster than easy, but is still 45-60 seconds/mile slower than marathon goal pace (or your estimated goal pace if you were training for a marathon). 5% slower than marathon pace is 18-30 seconds per mile slower than your goal pace -- but make sure you do the first and last mile a little slower as warmup and cooldown.
