Week 16 - Tulsa Route 66 Virtual Training - 5 / 10 Miles
NO Announcements and NO Water Stops
Runners start on Saturday or Sunday - Tulsa Taper Time!!!
Our training plan this week is a 5 mile long run for those training for the half and 10 miles for those training for the marathon. You may have to adjust depending on when you ran your OKC Memorial and when you plan to run your Route 66. We have become all to familiar with Virtual Runs recently but run your miles this weekend at the time and place of your choosing. After your run, we encourage you to stay connected with your fellow Landrunners by sharing pictures from your run and/or mileage data on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Strava) using #Landrunners.
Since you will be running on your own, there will NOT be any water stops and some of the water fountains along the trails may have not been turned on due to the pandemic. So make sure you have your own running hydration system with you such as a hand-held water bottle, waist belt, or hydration vest/pack.

Running Etiquette - Please be aware that the trails have been extremely busy lately with even more runners, walkers and cyclists using them. Remember that we are sharing the road and the trails with others. We want them to be courteous to us, so we, in turn need to be courteous and respectful and not "hog" the road or the trails. In this time of physical distancing, we need to practice good Running Etiquette and give everyone their space. Please refresh yourself on Running Etiquette summarized in this attachment.

We encourage you to continue to share your pictures and help others stay motivated as well. Don’t forget to use #Landrunners
