marathon team email, sunday run 11/22

Hello Marathoners,

Contents:
1) LA Marathon
2) X-Training
3) Team run on Sunday November 22

1) SIGN UP FOR THE LA MARATHON - IT IS 75% FULL, DO IT RIGHT NOW AFTER YOU READ THIS EMAIL


2) Cross-training will be happening on Friday (11/20). We will meet at 7:05 am ON CROMWELL FIELD - expect the whole session to be about 40 minutes.

We'll be doing a track workout and some circuit training...

We've been posting the workouts online, if you're curious: http://www-scf.usc.edu/~marathon/crosstrain.shtml

Another option for cross-training is a spinning class; team captain Evan Snyder leads one at 5:30 on Friday evenings in the Robinson Fitness Room at the Lyon Center, there are other classes also run through Rec. Sports.

3) Team Run on Sunday (11/22):

We will be running on a wood chip trail that goes through some of the beach cities, this is a 10 mile route:

http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-states/ca/el-segundo/249328435906


>From the parking lot where we start we will run on the trail (it's called the Hermosa Valley Greenbelt), this trail goes for almost 4 miles, then we make a right turn on Herondo St., a left (south) on Harbor Drive and then a right on to Portofino Way, and then into the marina, turn around and come back -- check out the map on satellite or hybrid view to get a better idea

We'll go over directions again before we start, but look at the route a bit beforehand.

This is a long run, bring water with you.


Getting to the El Segundo start point: we will carpool, meet in the Denny's Parking lot at the UV at 730 am.
To offer a carpool ride or request one, go to the carpool section on the marathon team website: http://www-scf.usc.edu/~marathon/carpool/
- click on Sunday Carpool and follow the directions, the login is 'runner' and the password is 'runner262'

- PLEASE if you have a car, volunteer to drive for the carpool

Directions to the start of the route:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=801+W+Jefferson+Blvd,+Los+Angeles,+CA+90007&daddr=34.02164,-118.426055+to:3600+N+Sepulveda+Blvd,+Manhattan+Beach,+CA+90266-3633+(Fry's+Electronics)&geocode=FWIpBwIdMSHz-CndTdda5MfCgDG8OeAL26lC-g%3BFQghBwIdOfbw-ClP0206TbrCgDFFcRdfdfeM5A%3BFWpLBQId5W_x-CF3nfm0vW5s0Cm3-ofF-LPCgDGInBuTgEHS0g&hl=en&mra=pe&mrcr=0&sll=33.89938,-118.393757&sspn=0.007124,0.008336&ie=UTF8&ll=33.900903,-118.393167&spn=0.007124,0.008336&t=h&z=17&via=1

Essentially, you will head south on the 110, west on the 105, south on the 405, and then exit westbound on Rosecrans Avenue; from Rosecrans you can turn left on Village Drive and park somewhere in the Manhattan Village Shopping Center, but please note that our trail starts at the southwest end of the long skinny parking lot off Rosecrans (look for the Tin Roof Bistro on the satellite map), so park in this lot if you can.


Happy Running!

marathon team email, sunday run for 11/15

Hello Runners,

Contents:
1) Cross-training
2) Team run on Sunday November 15
3) Water, gels, etc.
4) LA Marathon


1) Cross-training will be happening on Friday (11/13). We will meet at 7:05 am ON CROMWELL FIELD - expect the whole session to be about 40 minutes.

We'll be doing some interval running and some kind of circuit training...

We've been posting the workouts online, if you're curious: http://www-scf.usc.edu/~marathon/crosstrain.shtml

Another option for cross-training is a spinning class; team captain Evan Snyder leads one at 5:30 on Friday evenings in the Robinson Fitness Room at the Lyon Center, there are other classes also run through Rec. Sports.

2) Team Run on Sunday (11/15):

We will be running on San Vicente Boulevard from Santa Monica Pier, this is a 9 mile route:

http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/us/ca/santa%20monica/936125778554024273


>From the pier we will run north on Ocean Ave, and then turn east (right) onto San Vicente, continue until you get to Bundy Drive, then head back the way you came.

We'll go over directions again before we start.


Getting to Santa Monica: we will carpool, meet in the Denny's Parking lot at the UV at 730 am.
To offer a carpool ride or request one, go to the carpool section on the marathon team website: http://www-scf.usc.edu/~marathon/carpool/
- click on Sunday Carpool and follow the directions, the login is 'runner' and the password is 'runner262'

- PLEASE if you have a car, volunteer to drive for the carpool

Directions to the start of the route:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=University+of+Southern+California&daddr=Santa+Monica+Pier&geocode=CZb7_dro_TkGFSAbBwIdiRrz-CHBpr6QuCeakg%3BFX_xBgId1t_v-ClJvJ1S16TCgDHTz3QwQm_Mgg&hl=en&mra=pe&mrcr=0&sll=34.017096,-118.388672&sspn=0.115535,0.252686&ie=UTF8&ll=34.013467,-118.491315&spn=0.003557,0.004168&t=h&z=18

** The PARKING STRUCTURE IS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AFTER YOU TURN ON COLORADO - check the satellite image, it's the place just east of the McDonalds on the map -- We will meet at the cannon just up from the pier itself. **

3) We're at the mileage now where you probably want to bring some water or some energy gels with you - keep this in mind for the longer runs. Ask captains or other experienced runners what they usually do for water and food on longer runs.

4) Sign up for the LA Marathon ASAP - it will sell out.


Questions? Send us an email - see you on Sunday (or Friday)!

Happy Running!
