Dam to Dam
Thinking about running the Dam to Dam (20k) for the first time. I've run 5ks before, but never anything longer. Do I dare try it? Am I too late to start training for this year? Any advice from veterans? Anyone in the Waukee area want to be a running buddy?
Re: Dam to Dam
You should do it! Its a lot of fun! I have run it twice and the first time had never done anything longer than a 5K when I started training. I was really intimidated but it went just fine.
I am toying around with the idea of doing it again this year but need to get my buns in gear if that is going to happen! I have my 6 week checkup tomorrow to get cleared to exercise so I guess I need to hurry up and decide. When my husband and I train for it we follow a 12 week training schedule by Hal Higdon and it is really manageable. Good luck!

I also followed the Hal Higdon program when I was training for my first half marathon this past January. I was a very new runner (I still am...I started last June) and it worked great for me. The most important thing is doing a long run on the weekends. If you start now, you should have plenty of time to train by then.
I might be running it...I'm a little undecided as of yet, but it sounds like a fun race!
