Expert  819  |  Subject: Fifth Third River Bank Run - 25K : Official ThreadSO who is out there slogging through the snow? Definitely takes a little more commitment to do a spring long race. Alot easier getting in long runs for a fall Mary.
Good luck training |

| 41 | Subject: RE: Fifth Third River Bank Run - 25K : Official Thread I actually prefer running in the winter as well. I've started doing more running again now. Although I'm primarily a cyclist, running this time of year is greatly preferred over sitting on the trainer, especially when trail running. Everyone who can do the RBR ought to! I'm not running the race, as I volunteer on race day, but it is an awesome event and every lower Michigan runner ought to do it! |

Expert 819 | Subject: RE: Fifth Third River Bank Run - 25K : Official Thread Thanks in advance for volunteering. I like the winter long run, but can't keep my paces for Tempo runs with the on/off footing. Hoping for 60 and dry come race day. The rain last year was miserable. |

Regular 87 | Subject: RE: Fifth Third River Bank Run - 25K : Official Thread I'm planning to do the 25k run this year. Never have participated in any length Riverbank before. Does registration ever close ( fill up) or am I pretty safe dragging my feet? I don't mind running in the winter all. I actually have never even run on a treadmill, don't know what it's like. Upcoming event for me are a Half M in Mount Pleasant at the end of Feb, The Kent City Ridge Run (15k) in March and I'll find something in April. Looking forward to Riverbank. With the numbers of runners and the vibe I understand it is a great experience! |

I don't remember which weekend it is, but I'm 99% sure it's in July. It's a great event and highly recommended. |

I have also done Interlocken...that is a good race too. Bigger, more fan fare. The only downfall of Bostwick is that they do it the weekend of the 4th so it doesn't fit in so easily with family stuff. |

Regular 87 | Subject: RE: Fifth Third River Bank Run - 25K : Official Thread We gotta bump this baby back up! Just about a month to go and I hope everyone's training has picked up with the great weather... Riverbank will be my furthest run yet. I've done two half-mary's and a number of long training runs, but no 25k yet. I'm considering allowing it to be the starting point to a fall marathon. We'll see. Go running! |

Regular 87 | Subject: RE: Fifth Third River Bank Run - 25K : Official Thread Ran 13.2 today as a Riverbank prep...will need to pick up the pace if I hope to make the 25k in under 2 hours...the 13.2 took me 1:54. |

Expert 819 | Subject: RE: Fifth Third River Bank Run - 25K : Official Thread paddlesurfer. I ran my first 25k at last year's RBR. I signed up for the GR Mary the next Monday. Both were great. I am not sure of your background, but a sub 2hr 25k is a 7:43/mile pace. Be careful. Last year I held about an 8min mile for the first 13, then the wheels came off a bit and I ended up at an 8:11 pace for a 2:06:57. I am flirting with going for 2 hours this year. Hopefull it will not be cold and rainy this year. It is a great race with a ton of support. Se you out there. |

Regular 87 | Subject: RE: Fifth Third River Bank Run - 25K : Official Thread Welcome back to the OP: leftrunner! I am being a little ambitious with the sub 2 hour time, but I have done two half mary's at a 7:35 pace, though both were in the fall last year. I have been focusing mostly on running and an 8 min pace is not a problem, though it seemed to be during last week's 13.2. That was a hilly route. I ran 7 miles last night at 7:32 with a couple of hills. I don't know...with the right iPod playlist, the right weather and a smart start...I'm hoping to report a 1:59 or below... |

Regular 87 | Subject: RE: Fifth Third River Bank Run - 25K : Official Thread leftrunner - I wish you luck too. We've got almost identical pace goals. If it were potentially easier to find someone in the thousands of runners I would probably suggest it. I'm running solo and my two fastest half mary times were with someone. That helped. I ran 7 miles Thursday at my goal pace and will attempt my 13.2 route at a 7:50 pace tomorrow. Hopefully the wind dies down. |

Expert 819 | Subject: RE: Fifth Third River Bank Run - 25K : Official Thread paddlesurfer- I plan to run with a 2 hour pace group, so that should help. I have felt amazing on anything less than 10 miles, but have felt verrrry slow on my long runs. I am getting very sore after 10 miles. Hopefully I will benefit from a good taper after my long run this Monday. I told my family I will be finishing in 2 hours, or 2 1/2 to 3. I am going to go for it, but I could just as easily blow up at 10 miles and have to walk in. See you there. Good luck! |

Regular 87 | Subject: RE: Fifth Third River Bank Run - 25K : Official Thread I have never heard the term pace group -- but I've only been doing events for a year. It's so logical...Are you aware of any resources to find some? I'm going to begin surfing the web. It's a little late in the game...You probably train as a pace group leading up to an event? |
