Hey,
I am starting to train for a marathon, which I plan on running at the end of March or in April. There are a few possibilities still - Atlanta, Ocean City Maryland, Charlottesville (VA) or Nashville.

I am actually looking for someone that either is training for one or would like to start, especially to run the long weekend runs with me. (10+ miles distances).

If anyone is interested in having a running partner or just run occasionally, let me know!

- Andy

What kinda mileage are you at now?

1/21/2007 8:50:11 PM

are you going to do the music city marathon in Nashville? I've heard good things about that one.

1/21/2007 8:52:38 PM

I ran 8 miles last weekend and 10 miles this weekend. I am planning on increasing it 2 miles every weekend. Last week i ran 20 miles total and that will go up to 40 or so. (3-8 mile runs during the week 3 or 4 times).

The Nashville music city marathon is a possibility. A little far from here, but Nashville is a nice city. The one ING Atlanta marathon looks nice, but it might be too early for me, regarding training for it.

i've heard that 10% increase of your mileage is about what you should shoot for. not an expert by any means, but that's what i've heard.

my girlfriend is training for a half marathon in VA beach. It is in september. Is that one of the ones you are talking about?

1/22/2007 9:12:32 PM

Just do it by yourself. I didn't train with anybody when I ran mine last year. It's too hard to accomodate someone else's schedulue. Additionally, someone is always dragging someone else down to their level. Rarely the reverse.

strap a midget to your back to build up endurance

1/22/2007 9:21:10 PM

I figured i will end up training by myself anyways... i am planning on running on the Atlanta Marathon on March 25th... the goal is under 4 hours!

1/22/2007 10:24:32 PM

That was my goal as well. Very achievable for a first marathon.

1/22/2007 10:35:11 PM

I have a soft goal to do a HIM this year. We'll see how that goes.

remember to cycle it. every 3-4 weeks, go down on your long run to give you body a break.

I ran Nashville last year, it's got some LONG DAMN HILLS. It was fun, but I'd definitely do a more flat course first if I could have done it over again.

Run, nigger, run!

I'm looking to start training for one if anyone's interested.

6/19/2007 3:18:25 PM

ooo, the shamrock marathon in Va Beach is fun! i didn't run it, my bf did, but people dress up and stuff b/c it's around st. patrick's day. sucks running against the wind for 8 miles though, or so i've been told

Bay To Breakers FTW!

my GF and i are running the Oasis montreal marathon. she is from there and her dad has a place there for work.

we gonna hit it up

6/19/2007 6:10:58 PM

yeah i hate running with other people. Either they run to fast which causes me to fatigue earlier then I want or they run to slow and I get frustrated.

6/19/2007 7:57:42 PM

im trying a new method of running (new to me).

running several minutes, walking 1 minute, and repeat.

maybe gonna end up doing 7 and 1.
