You don't have to train with me or Meredith to run a race. Check out Team In Training or Jeff Galloway's groups (they seem to be in many cities including Raleigh and Charlotte.)
ReplyDeleteAlso, the good running stores usually have running clubs/groups and/or training programs. I know Fleet Feet does in particular.
Or you can find a meet up group that runs, or check out http://www.ncroadrunners.org/.
Finally, you can always train by yourself or with a friend using a training schedule you find online. I would recommend starting with a 5K if you've never done one, then maybe an 8k or 10K and then a half. Hal Higdon, Jeff Galloway and Runnersworld.com all have great training programs for most longer distances.
I still want to get that Cardio Fitness Assessment. Where do they do them around Raleigh?
ReplyDeleteThey do a full assessment at the Meredith Human Performance Lab. It costs a nice little chunk of change, but is worth it if you active and are looking to get accurate information about your own performance parameters.
