Long Run for Saturday Sept 25, 9:30am

Hey Runners,

We will meet outside of the Essential Bakery at the corner of Madison and MLK Jr Way. Our 6-mile run will take us through the Arboretum down into Madison Park and up a few solid hills on our way back to the Bakery- that lovely endpoint where croissants, bearclaws, brioche etc can be had. But only if you give it all on the hills!

Here's a link to the route on Gmap Pedometer if you want to check it out.

For anyone who can't join us, use this as the rough template for your own run:
Take 1-1.5 miles fairly flat to warm up.
For miles 2-3 aim to include some rolling hills.
For miles 4-5.5 aim to include 2 longer hills.
End with a half mile level or down hill, preferably ending at a bakery.

Remember your hill technique - shorter stride, lean into the hill, use your arms.
Downhill technique - try not to lean back, Keep your form- don't get floppy.

See y'all on Saturday. Drop me a note to let me know if you'll be there.
