ATTENTION Half Marathon Runners!

Our official training starts this Sunday, September 5th at Kellogg Park at 8am. In preparation for this week’s training you should be walking at least three miles per week to prepare your body for the marathon training schedule. Walking first before training will begin the conditioning and hardening process of the bones and soft tissue.

As you’ll notice our trainings increase one mile per week for the first five weeks. Therefore, it’s important that you begin at a level where you can comfortably set your walk/run pace.  If you’re already walk/running on a regular basis you may be tempted to walk/run more than the training schedule suggests. We highly encourage you to stick to the schedule provided so that you don’t get burnt out. Following the training schedule will ensure that you have the necessary training and endurance built in order to complete the ½ marathon in December.

Remember that marathoners come in all shapes and sizes! Everyone should set an intention for their run and listen to your body’s cues. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!

Team GBI
