Training Tip - Using "Race Pace" as a Guideline for Training

Training Tip

Do you know how fast (or slow) you should run in workouts as you train for your marathon or half?

Your training paces depend on your goal pace for the race. You do not do all your training at goal pace, however. You want to slow down for most of your training.

Generally, your long runs should average about goal pace plus 30-90 seconds per mile...

Things To Do: BLiND MINER CAFE

Blind Miner

At Mile 3 of the Big Cottonwood Marathon, you run by the Blind Miner Cafe at the base of the Brighton Ski Resort. Before the advent of recreational skiing, the Cottonwood Canyons were alive with mining and logging industries. The Blind Miner survived a dynamite blast that left him blind but did not stop his mining. He died in 1974 at age 80 having never fulfilled his dream of striking a motherlode. A marker at milepost 7.3 in the canyon memorializes the Blind Miner, and you can look across the stream to the entrance to his mine. Read More

Mt Lemmon Community Center

This year REVEL Mt Lemmon donated thousands of dollars to the community of Summerhaven, which serves as the host venue for the full marathon start line. The funds were used to help complete an acoustics project at the beautiful Mt Lemmon Community Center. If you live in Arizona or are planning to visit the Tucson area this winter, make sure to spend some time up in Summerhaven at the top of Mt Lemmon! Great skiing, delicious food, and unforgettable sights await in Summerhaven! Follow the Visit Mount Lemmon Facebook page for more information.
