Albany Run Walk 2010 Kickoff


Last Saturday was the kickoff for the new training season for my running club Albany Run Walk. We had a HUGE turnout for the event. We all the group leaders and runners it was well over 100 people. We meet at Phoebe Northwest and explain how the program works and what’s in for the runner. After a short Q & A we went outside for a short run.

On Saturday the group ran a Mini Marathon to start the training for the marathon season. We ran 2.62 miles. This run included a short warm up / cool down and a Magic Mile in the middle. The Magic Mile is just a one mile at best effort to place all the runners into Pace Groups.

After the kickoff Jeff Galloway held one of his famous Running Schools for me, my group leaders, and a few of the Albany Run Walk Members. Jeff gave us a lot of great information about how to train injury free for a marathon.
