Get ready for a scenic run that honestly, isn’t even that hilly! This week’s Portland Marathon Clinic run offers up 16 miles from Lululemon Pearl at 1231 NW Couch. The route is an out-and-back course that will run along the waterfront on the west side to the Sellwood Bridge and then tour the amazing Eastmoreland neighborhood. You can check out the route here, but keep in mind you’re only going out 8 miles.
This week’s run will consist of 16-20 miles beginning and ending at Road Runner Sports in Tualatin. It may be a tad hot, so make sure you are prepared to battle the elements (i.e water and fuel) along the way. After this run there are only eight runs left in the 2014 PMTC! The 2014 Portland Marathon is just around the corner now!

But rather than plod through those miles on your own, join the PMC and run with a group of really great local runners! It doesn’t matter if you’re doing Portland, everyone is welcome to this amazing local running program. We are blessed in the Pacific NW with beautiful, sunny days…
This week’s run is from Lululemon Pearl, at 1231 NW Couch in Portland. The route for this Saturday runs along the waterfront for a lovely out-and-back of 13, 15 and 16 miles. Why the three different distances? Well, it’s because PMC is organized around the idea that even experienced marathoners can benefit from a group, but that runners new to the distance or with lower weekly mileage need to be sure not to overdo it.…
By now, the PMC has been “running” for 8 weeks, and the run for Saturday, May 24 is 10, 12 or 13 miles from Lululemon’s Pearl District store located at NW 12th & Couch in Portland. Let’s talk about bit about the pace groups. If you feel like you are running too slowly even though you’re with the “right” pace group, talk to your pace group leader, or Patti Finke (one of the PMC founders).…
