Hey yall! I have a bunch of training plans and resources that I’d love to share with the group and am planning on adding to a “Training and resources” tab, right now I have plans for: - Beginner half marathon - Return to running 10 miles - Couch to 5k - Speed work for beginners Are there any other plans or workouts that would be helpful? Like different speed workout ideas, running “games”, mental tricks for long runs etc that you’d like to see? Thanks for the insight!

Oooh! Maybe some good foundational at-home strength exercises for runners?
Tuesday check in!!
Howdy friends! 🤠. Let’s tap in! What’re you training for, what’s hard right now and where have your small wins been lately? 👇

Wowee, where do I start? 😅 I have a half marathon this Sunday. I've had to change many goals it seems during this training block, and at this point I am just hoping to make it through the whole race by walking. That is what has been hard - dealing with changing abilities and goals and feeling disappointed in several ways. My win is that I can walk mostly normally with my toe bandaged up (albeit without a shoe yet) and I can turn my neck more after tweaking it! Hoping these next few days will continue the upward trend!

@Cassandra Robinson I love doing run/walk! I think that’s a great way to start easing your body into the training plan. Where is your half marathon going to be in February?

Boulderthon- running at altitude
Good morning everybody. This is not my first half marathon but definitely my first one at altitude. I ran New York in March and it was freezing and it was hilly. I am told that this one is high as far as altitude, but not a lot of elevation change Would love any tips or tricks. I will be there four days early to get used to being there. My brother lives in Denver so I have gone skiing and things like that and altitude doesn’t normally affect me at all, but I’ve never run in it. Thanks

I also really don’t have much experience with drastic changes in elevation for a race, but I think Kristine hit the nail on the head with the hydration tip! I think getting there a few days early will also help your body acclimate along with doing that light 1 mile or 2 mile run that you mentioned. Good luck!!
Hello from Orlando!!
I forgot when I first joined this group that I never introduced myself. Hello everybody. I’m fairly new to Running. I only started my first formal race July 4, 2024. I’m an older Runner I started when I was 54 separated and then eventually divorced. My friends dragged me out of the house and force me to exercise and work out and eventually running. Since then, I’ve been a local Running store Brandon ambassador inspiring other older runners to get off the couch. I also work with a few brands like Shokz, Swift Running, BibBoards, Feetures and Garmin. Still working on my first marathon, which was supposed to be New York, but then the Charity pulled all the bibs. It might be Disney marathon weekend in January. We shall see. I’m also a professional base player so I get to travel a lot

Welcome to the community @Rene Flores ! I’ve heard that Disney puts on amazing races, so that sounds like it would be an incredible first marathon experience! I actually grew up about an hour east of Orlando and lived there for 18 years! One of my favorite races (and my nemesis at the same time after my experience this year 😂) is the BDR half marathon in Orlando! I’m excited to follow along with your journey!
