Registration is Now Open - Big T 2016

This year's race date is scheduled for Saturday October 1st. Online registration is now active over at Newmexicosportsonline as well as Active.com (we prefer the local guys). Race flyers will also be available at The Running Hub or Alpine Sports here in Santa Fe or can be downloaded via the little icon to the left there (<<<<) and mailed in to the club P.O. Box. Completed registrations can also be dropped off with either of our friends over at The Hub or Alpine Sports. The run benefits WINGS of America, which received $2,000 from the the Striders via the Big Tesuque Trail Run in each of the last two years. 

Registration fees are $30 this year, early registrations from Striders club members are $25 before race day (with promo code). Shirt designs haven't been finalized, but we'll post an image when it comes together. 

Time to get out and get your paces in, stretch those legs out, and get comfortable with a HR of 165 bpm. Fall is just around the corner.

All my runs are at that rate - on level ground! What am I doing wrong? (Male, age 48)

Late to this FD - If you're truly at 165 bpm all the time then you need to ease the pacing, vato. That type of straining is more of a once or twice a week kind of effort. Now if you put in most of your week's runs on Big T, or maybe a surrogate like Atalaya/Picacho, well then you're heart rate is going to default to 165+ bpm because those suckers are steep and the air is thin. - BTTR
