Ok guys, I talked to Beth about running a marathon, here are some key takeaways:
1.) You need to have been already running consistently for about a year – We’re good there.
2.) She likes the Hal Higdon’s training plan – longest training run is 20 miles.
3.) The training for the Mercer Island half will put us right on par to do a full marathon in June.
4.) It's really just about making sure that we can commit to the looooooong runs.
5.) Marathons are tough but totally doable (she’s thinking about doing another full marathon already).
6.) In Beth’s words: “There’s a Vancouver BC half marathon that would be the perfect supplement to marathon training for June - would definitely fall in during your shorter long runs.”
Just some things to consider as we approach February 28 -- the first Rock 'n' Roll Seattle registration deadline.
Love,
