LONG SLOW DISTANCE (LSD)
Our Saturday (August 15, 2009) long run will be 8 miles for maintenance and 12 miles for “Newbies.” After this weekend, the “Newbies” will be equivalent in mileage with veterans. Therefore, next Saturday (August 22, 2009), when we begin our 16-week training for the Santa Barbara International Marathon (Dec 6, 2009), we will ALL be running the same distance (14 miles) and following the same training schedule. Be sure to run in the Pace Group that best matches your present ability. You may move up or down as you see fit, but you certainly would not want to suffer burnout or injury by running at too fast a pace every week. Also, it is important to perform the mid-week speed and hill workouts (see 16-Week Calendar).
On Saturday August 29, 2009, our long run will be 16 miles. I mention this here because there will not be another Newsletter until September 5, 2009. Newsletters are written for the first and third Saturdays of each month, and August has five Saturdays. Mark your calendars.
Enjoy your runs.
