50k @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3-7)
I’ve heard great things about this race. Most definitely a race of two halfs. Steadily downhill for 15 miles then the hills come out to play. So despite how good you feel at first, keep it easy and save the energy for the climbs. VIEW ROUTE!!
First half should feel easy. But it’s important to keep the pace sensible to save your energy for the hills. When they arrive don’t worry about walking them as some of them look brutal. Take your time, enjoy the day and just have a great run. It’s nice to do a race where you’re not chasing times or paces. In fact ignoring the watch completely would be a pretty good strategy. The only reason to look at it would be to make sure you’re not going too fast in the first 15 miles. Very best of luck Tina. I hope you have a fantastic time.
