Alright ladies - Wannabe Runner w/ Questions!
Hi Ladies-
I really want to run the Princess half next year. Here's my problem, after I get C25K down, what do I do after that? How do I continue the training process?
Is this even possible? am I getting ahead of myself?
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
Re: Alright ladies - Wannabe Runner w/ Questions!
It is TOTALLY possible! I started running last March (first 5K was end of March) and ran the Disney Princess this year (and it was my third 1/2 marathon).
For me, signing up for races was great motivation to train.
After you do your first 5K, sign up for a 10K (probably 6-8+ weeks after your first 5K). Then start looking for a 10 mile or 15K (9.3 miles) race (these are pretty few and far between).
You could also run another 1/2 marathon before the Disney Princess like I did.
I used Hal Higdon's training plans for both 10K and 1/2 marathon.
Good luck! You can totally do it!
You can totally do it!!!
I used this training program for my first half. It's for beginners and is a 12 week program, so I'm sure after your C25K and further running you'll be able to do this program and rock the Princess Half.
Another great thing about that race is that there are a lot of folks who do it just for fun, so there are plenty of ladies just walking it and it's not uber competitive.
