Continuing in our Winter Marathon Prep series, this upcoming Saturday’s long-run will start at Old Ox.
The target goal for this run is 18 miles; however, every individual is encouraged to go at their own pace for the distance that works into their training.
This is an unsupported long-run so hydration and nutrition should be carried by each individual for their own training needs.
This weekend, we’re planning on going East, which means that not only will you pass through Scenic Herndon Depot, but if you make it at least 7.25 miles before turning around, you get the chance to go to not one, but two 7-11s if you need to stop for hydration. I recommend the cherry Slurpees!
This is another out-and-back so unless you want to jump in along the trail, there’s not much of a need for ride coordination, but please have a backup plan in mind if you find yourself 9 miles from your car and want to tap out.
