Key Points

Workout Example
- Warm‑up: Easy jog for a few minutes.
- Main run: Approximately 9 miles (about 14.5 km) at a comfortable, conversational pace.
- Water stops: Take a quick sip of water or Powerade every 2‑3 miles (the event provides plenty of stations).
- Post‑run hill repeats: 2‑4 repeats of a short hill (≈30‑45 seconds each) with a short jog or walk back for recovery. Adjust the number of repeats to your fitness level.
- Cool‑down: Easy jog or walk for 5‑10 minutes.
Practical Tips
- Eat a solid breakfast (oatmeal, coffee, water) 1‑2 hours before the run.
- Use the water stations; staying hydrated in hot, humid conditions is key.
- Keep the run “easy” – treat it as a recovery run after a hard tempo day.
- If you’re new to hill repeats, start with 2 repeats and build up.
- Have fun and stay safe – enjoy the community vibes.
