Organiser's description
Red Coyotes 2023 Senior Marathon Training Program is designed to help you train for the Oklahoma City Memorial Senior Marathon on April 27th, 2024. All abilities 65 and older are welcome! Whether you're a walker just getting started or a seasoned runner, there's a place for you! In our Red Coyote program, we think sharing the training journey with friends working to achieve a common goal is the best part and makes every run more fun! We'll help you achieve your goal safely by a gradual and strategic increase in your training mileage. We start with very gentle 1 mile workout and give your body plenty of time to adapt over the 6 weeks of the program as we log 25 miles together in preparation for the 1.2 miles on race day. We'll give instruction on proper hydration, nutrition, injury prevention, training principles, as well as other areas to help you have a successful race! All participants will receive schedules through email but ALL other communication will go through Red Coyote's private Facebook group that is exclusive to this program. To help stay accountable virtual participants or those who miss a run/walk can post their workouts to the Facebook group page.
