I'm at it again! Singed myself up for another half marathon for this year, which means TRAINING! Unlike what I did last year, training on my own, I signed up with a training program who is also in partnership with the race. My reasoning, to not hurt myself like last year and maybe, maybe make some new running friends.
I signed up with Fleet Feet in Sacramento
and for $109, race registration not included, you get a training schedule (8
weeks) and a support team. So far I don't see the benefit of training with a
group, but it is my first time and I know it'll take some getting used to. Plus
with this group, there are perks on race day, which will make that day stress
free and eventful.
Along with my schedule with them, I still use my Nike Running app to chart my runs. However I do not follow what they are recommending to me this time, but I do like Nike in my ear counting down the miles. Also Nike Running is better if the race is 12-13 weeks out, since they start planning 2 long runs by week 3-4.
More about this experience to come!
Wish me luck!
