We at AREC are committed to providing you with a detailed training program in addition to experienced leadership and sound advice, motivation and the mental preparation necessary to accomplish this courageous goal. The training is geared to coincide with the Long Beach Marathon and Half Marathon in mid-October, although it certainly is not required to be training for one of those races to participate in the program. For more information on the Long Beach Marathon events, go to www.runlongbeach.com
Training runs take place on Saturday mornings beginning in mid-May and continue through mid-October (until race day). The runs begin at 7:00am and start/finish at the Joe's Crab Shack parking lot (6550 N. Marina Drive), unless otherwise indicated in the Program Information and Special Dates document (click on link below), so please arrive early to warm up, stretch, use the restroom and mingle first. Distances begin shorter and get progressively longer. In the weeks (and months) leading up to training, it is recommended to slowly build up your weekly base mileage in preparation. Our Wednesday runs are a perfect opportunity to help build this base.
The training is included with club membership, so sign up today and show up the first day, ready to go.
