CLIF
BAR PACE TIP - Marathon Pace Runs
 Each week, try to do
some running at your goal
marathon pace, if not a little faster. Do a 2-mile warm-up, then try
to run for 3 miles at your goal pace, followed by a 2-mile
cool-down. Each week add a mile until you reach 6 miles at race
pace, then alternate adding a mile with going back to 6 miles each
week (7 miles, back to 6 miles the next week, 8 miles, back to 6,
etc.) until you build up to 10-12 miles at race pace.
Register for either
the Half Marathon or Marathon Pace Team today!
