July 4, 2015: HoA Training Run 9 of 17

Time: 5:30 AM
Place: Stadium Blvd.-MKT
Distance: 17 Miles

The focus for this run to practice marathon pace on relatively easy terrain.  After approximately two miles of warm-up (on roads), the plan is to run from Forum Blvd. all the way out to McBain on the MKT trail and back...a total of 13 continuous miles at your goal marathon pace.  Upon returning to the Forum Blvd. trail entrance, the remainder of the run will be an easy cool-down back to the Stadium entrance (your choice of roads or trail).  I hope to plant water at McBaine so that we'll have something to drink at the turnaround point (which will happen to be the exact mid-point of the marathon training schedule).  That calls for some fireworks, don't you think?
