TTT Pub Crawl - Sat. June 16th in Tinley

We had a great turn out last year, so whether you’ve run with us once or every day this year, this is the time to come out. The pub crawl will start Saturday June 16th at 7:30 at Cousins Bar & Grill at 17704 Oak Park Ave in Tinley. It is across the street from Bailey's where we will be winding up the evening, so park in that big lot and you're all set. If you’re planning on eating, get there earlier and order food right away, as we will depart around 8PM sharp!

For first timers: This is not a race… we all participate together and move at a very comfortable/slow pace, so no one should feel they can’t keep up, and places are close together.

If you cannot make the start you can meet us at the end, we should arrive at Baily's around 10PM or so. If I’ve missed anything or you have questions, just comment. Hope to see you all there.

Tomorrow night lets meet at Swallow Cliff...meet at 6:30 pm and park in the west side parking lot on LaGrange.

The run will the 6 mile loop...please read Rich post below.  It is some very good info on current training.  Monday night runs are suppose to be more of a steady-state run...what is a steady-state run?  This type of run  works on your overall endurance, but also holding it at a faster pace during that longer run.  These types of runs are great for 1/2 marathoner and even marathoners. I had Kim and Craig do these runs before Champ marathon and they were able to hold a 7:49 pace...:)

An example= Lets say your training for a 1/2 and your long runs of 10-15 miles are at a 8:00 min/mi pace...your steady-state run of 6-8 miles should be around 7:45-7:50 pace.  These runs are important to teach out bodies to be able to break out of that slower pace.

If anyone is interested in these runs please come out on the Monday night runs...it helps to run them with people.  If you need help in regards of how fast to run these runs just ask :)

Unfortunately tomorrow both my assistant managers are on vacation...lucky me I have to work open to close so I will not be there tomorrow.  However, Rich and I can answer any question at Wed practice or I can next Monday at practice.

Please post if you are coming tomorrow so others know who they are meeting.

See you guys Wed :)
