I might do the half marathon if some other NYSpeeders do. I ran 10 miles in high school with the cross country team so I’m sure I could make 13 if I trained no problem. ---

I used to hate running as well, have always focused more on sports like baseball/football/hockey/volleyball/soccer/etc…but have found a newfound interest in running. I work in EA and go out for runs during lunch, have plenty of great scenery out here that makes running a great escape from the cubicle life. I’ll also hit up Chesnutt Ridge every so often…thats a great place to get some miles in and the location/scenery kills any boredom. ---

This is the rigid 12-week training program I am following for the Half-Marathon: ![http://i50.tinypic.com/353174o.jpg](http://i50.tinypic.com/353174o.jpg) It is designed for runners aiming for the 2:00 mark, I am aiming for that or slightly faster. Where are you guys running? Inside/outside? Routes outside? I am trying to run outside as much as possible (seeing as I dread the tread’), but days like today make it tough. ---

This would be the first marathonesque thing I’ve ever attempted, so my goal would most likely be just to finish. As far as training program, I was going to run. Alot. ---

This whole winter I’ve only hit the treadmill 3 times. Most of my runs have been at lunch time (as mentioned above, in East Aurora). We’ve had a suprisingly mild winter for the most part, so 3-4 runs a week have been the norm. The past few days have been the only time I’ve been inside running. As for routes…I like to hop on [http://www.mapmyrun.com](http://www.mapmyrun.com/) and go from there. ---

I’ll be training a lot before then, but I don’t think I’ll be back in Buffalo in time for it. And if I am, I’ll have just had a nasty flight. Ugh. ---

Same here, only other road race I have done so far is the Turkey Trot. I will be running a 5k on Feb 13 (Dash for the Dome), The Shamrock Run, and possibly one more before May 1 (Grand Island Half) and May 30 (Buffalo Half) > [@Mike93](#): > > This whole winter I’ve only hit the treadmill 3 times.

Where are you guys running? Inside/outside? Routes outside? I am trying to run outside as much as possible (seeing as I dread the tread’), but days like today make it tough. I cant see your pic as its blocked by work, but I didnt really follow any training method last year, and I ran it in 2:03, with walking / barely jogging the last mile. I’m shooting for 1:30-1:40 this year. As for training, once its warm enough, I run outside 3-5 miles at least 3-4 days a week. running outside is TOTALLY different than running on a treadmill. I’ll mix in some other cardio too so I dont get bored, also, I have to watch out for my sciatic nerve… I pulled it last year and it set me back about 3 weeks worth of training right before the marathon. ---

The picture is a 12-week schedule with variating distances and fartlek running exercises. It is very rigid, but something general to follow. Nice goal for this year, 2:00 is just a ballpark aim, since I haven’t ran this event before, I can only guess based on how my training goes. Despite the cold temperature, I am trying to keep my running to the outdoors, I have inherited sinus issues, and when I am running on the treadmill at the gym, my nose plugs up from the muggy/moist air and I can’t run more than 3-4 miles. I need to look into nasal strips or something of the sort. ---
