Saturday-15 Mile & Pick Your Distance Route

Location
1018 Royce Street NW
Uniontown, OH

Meet Time
7:25 a.m.

Run Time
7:30 a.m.

Route Details
Portions of this route might look familiar (Smith Kramer and Kent Road), but most of the route is brand new for all Trotters (Congress Lake Road and Swamp Road). This is a nice route and relatively flat. Enjoy!

Roaming Water Station/Transportation Vehicle
Coach Momma C will be out brining you water, food, and First Aid. Water, Power Aid, and GU is provided. If you'd like additional items for your run...feel free to bring them. Coach Momma C will put your items in the car and give them to you upon your request.

How does the transportation vehicle work?
I want to run 5 miles. What should I do? The course is an 7.5 mile out-and-back, which makes a 15 mile route. You'll run the 5 miles out with the group. Once you get to the 5 mile mark you STOP. Coach Momma C will pick you up at the 5 mile mark and take you back to the start location. The same applies for any distance under 15 miles. This ensures you don't run any portion of the course alone, you don't get lost, and you get to stay part of a group longer. Just memorize the road you need to stop at...stop at that road...get a ride. You may be in the car with Coach Momma C for awhile before she can take you back to the start. Just be patient.

Goal
Today is the first day of your training. We will have a walking-only group and a run/walk group. I encourage those of you interested in running a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or full marathon to start with the run/walk group. The run/walk group will start with a 5 minute brisk walk, 5 minute slow run, 5 minute brisk walk, 5 minute slow run, FINISH!!! The walkers will walk briskly for 35 minutes.

Now, if you aren't able to run or walk the full time....DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!!! The first three weeks we will determine where you're at physically and we will design the program that fits your CURRENT fitness level and move forward from YOUR PERSONAL starting point!!! Again, DON'T WORRY.....we will help you every step of the way!

Route Description
We are going to do loops around the Magnus neighborhood. We will start going one way. Complete the loop and then turn it around and go the other way. We will continue to do this until you've completed your time goal. Just follow your running or walking leader. They'll show you where you need to go! Hope Magnus will time the run/walk group. She'll tell you when to walk and when to run. Wes Magnus will time the walking group. He'll let you know when you've completed your time goal. I PROMISE the routes will be more interesting and exciting in time! Just hang in there!
