Robie Creek Training Run
A bunch of us are going for a training run tomorrow that covers the uphill portion of the Robie Creek half marathon.
I am shuttling my car half way up the hill so I can minimize the downhill running. We will begin the training run at the starting line at Fort Boise, run the road to the bottom of the hill and run the dirt road to the top. That’s where the run for us finishes. That covers about 8 of the 13.1 miles that make up the race. During last year’s race, I took about 1:26:00 to get to the peak. I suspect tomorrow’s training run will take about that much time.
The hardest part on the body will be the descent back down to the car. The knees and quads aren’t going to be up for a hard pounding. I’m planning on walking the steepest parts. No need to abuse the body more than it needs.
