COACH DAVID'S TIP: TIME TRIALS AND SUMMER TRAINING

Greetings from LARR! Thanks for being part of our program or signing up to receive training updates.

Summer is officially here and it's time for warmer days, travel, and fun! It's also the time when we are deep in planning for the new LARR training season that kicks off in September.

But before we get to the ASICS Los Angeles Marathon in March 2027, many of us will be participating in the Santa Monica Classic on September 13.

This 5K or 10K is a great way to build your base and set a goal race before marathon training begins. Plus, it's a fun way to earn more bling - did you know that the Conquer LA Challenge and the Triple 5K Tour of LA start with the Santa Monica Classic?

LARR is planning a 9-week training to get you ready for Santa Monica Classic. Although we won't have in-person trainings during these nine weeks, you'll have access to training plans for Levels 1–5, we're posting weekly #TrainingTipTuesdays, and we're planning an online coach chat the Thursday before race day to help you feel confident and prepared.

On July 11 join us to officially kick off Santa Monica Classic training at our Summer Meet Up in Santa Monica (details below). Come connect with LARR, demo a pair of ASICS, log some miles, and get ready to start your 9 week training block. Everyone welcome - members and non-members - all paces!

With July 4th this weekend, communities all over are hosting 5Ks. Participating in a 5K (or doing your own time trial) is a good way to see where your fitness is today so you can understand your goal paces for speed work, as well as create a benchmark to measure your progress over the next nine weeks.

Enjoy those summer miles and we'll see you on July 11!

Have an inspired holiday weekend,

David Levine
LARR Head Coach
