COW HARBOR (ERICA COME IN PLS)

Hey Erica can you let me know about the training runs for cow harbor please?

Thanks so much! I am so excited to do this run this year!

Re: COW HARBOR (ERICA COME IN PLS)

they are every Wednesday night at 6:15 at Laurel Ave school. There are 10 pace groups from 6 minute/miles to 11+. Each week they give you tips to practice on the course, but more or less it's just getting on the course and used to it.

There is water at 2.5 and 4 miles (I'll be at the 2.5 mile stop 8/25 and 9/1 due to some surgery I can't run) and water and gatorade at the end - along with lots of people to chat with and talk to. You end up about 1 mile from the start, so the club will take your keys for you. I usually park in the village and jog to the start for a warm up, but you could do the reverse and jog back for a cool down.

this week they had towels in ice water - very nice new addition!

I'll be there next week - I always wear a white visor (I got some sun spots one year and vowed never to get them again) and I'm in the E group.

It's a great way to get comfortable with the course. Before I did the training runs, James Street was always daunting, now with the runs James Street is climbable! LOL
