Got to make this a short one today got a ton on my plate for the day. The mid week workouts are posted and many of you are heading back to the track in preparation for the Mercer Island 1/2. Like I did with those training for last fall marathons I'm planning to give you the same workout for the next few weeks. I think the thing about doing that is that it allows you to prepare each week knowing what it is that you'll be doing and hopefully see improvment from week to week.
With the release of the marathon course for Rock n Roll of course I've gotten a lot inquiries about my thoughts on the course. Well it's a race that is 26.2 miles long on the road, some asphalt,some cement, some up some down. It's in June so it could be warm or it could be ideal, could rain, could be hot.
The deal is that it's just another marathon and if you prepare properly it shouldn't be a big deal. We live in a area with many hills a lot of them in the city of Seattle so trying to put together a course that is void of any is pretty much impossible. So you need to plan for this, if it's something that you're afraid of then pick another race, I mean there is one almost one every week somewhere.
Anyway so I think the course is fine, could be a little flatter but heck like I said if you prepare properly and plan your race accordingly all should be fine.
