| ccsteve: | I'm looking for specific length trails or routes at Ellison to use for training.
Background - the Run Less Run Faster book outlines an interval, middle, and long run for each week. I expect for the intervals I'm going to head over to PHS and use the track. For the other two, I'd like to avoid the road, and want a bit more in the way of hills than I have around my home. A route with specific 1 mile increments is best... RLRF gives a 12 week program to get ready for a 5k, 10k, 1/2M, and full marathon. My plan is to start a week from now after the ESGs and get 8/12ths of the 10k program done before our home A meet;-) |

| randallxski: | A few thoughts: First, have you considered doing any organized workouts and training sessions, such as the GRTC spring track clinic? I highly recommend it. More information is available here. Here's the registration form
For run routes, check out the USATF site for routes that other runners have saved. If there's nothing there that works for you, you can add your own. |

| randallxski: | Here's a map of the park (in PDF) with some trail .... Also, don't for about Corbett's Glen. It's probably better running than Ellison, but a bit smaller. There are some nice trails and loops there for shorter runs. You could probably map those trails on the USATF site to get accurate distances. |

| ccsteve: | Randy - thanks for the pointers. Unfortunately, only two traile that pass through the park are in the USATF site. I'll have to measure one out.
I'd love to do something like the GRTC, but won't be able to swing it. Because I've got so much going on - Traveling Cabaret, Digital Rochester, actually getting to O events - I have to limit what I can formally sign up for, and another night out will go over like a lead balloon... My best and only hope is to have something that I can do or not do on my own with little advance planning, and as short a time footprint as I can manage. That means all of 5 minutes to get there if it doesn't start from home, and coaching as I can glean it... |

| feet: | You can always use Gmap Pedometer to measure routes for yourself. If you're on trails, time is more useful than distance anyway. |

| randallxski: | It's unfortunate that gmap pedometer doesn't encourage sharing routes by making them searchable. The USATF route tool indexes routes by location, distance, and a bunch of other factors.
