Need a Mileage Picker Upper for Your Next Full Mary 2015?

Anyone greeting 2015 with a marathon? I'm signed up for one (and if all things go as planned, quite possibly two! Crossing fingers!). 

One of the hardest parts in training for a full mary is the required long run. The long run, usually anything over 30K up and shorter than a full 42K, is a marathon pre-requisite if you want to be able to finish your race strong and injury-free. For neophyte marathoners, this is especially integral to lessen the shock your muscles will encounter after running longer than you're used to. (I cannot stress enough how important this is! Trust my legs. They learned the hard way.)

Personally, I find training for long runs by your lonesome hard. Most of the time, I really need that external push (like supportive runner friends, the spirit of competition, or that pride thing. haha) to complete a long run with as little walk breaks as much as possible). It's good that more organizers are tuning into these needs, and giving the runners longer distances to train to. So, if you're signed up for a marathon in the first quarter of the year (Condura Marathon, anyone?), then the Takbo.ph 20 miler (32K) is perfectly timed for you! Or for anyone who just wants to run (there are multiple distances to choose from) and just have a plain good time!

Why Rest? Just Run.


Spotted on the interweb.

Clever piece of outdoor advertising.

A public service from your friendly neighborhood, Nike. ;)
