Cooper River Bridge Run/Walk ~ Charleston, SC

guest — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 01:55:37 GMT

Hi. My BFF and I are in our 60's and we have committed to WALKING the Cooper River Bridge Run/Walk in Charleston, SC this April 6, 2013.

I'm new to walking and am training myself.

Anyone ever walked the Cooper River Bridge?

Got suggestions for how to handle the incline?

Got any favorite walking shoes?

If you've ever walked the CRBR I'd love to know exactly where the start line is.

Thanks!

See ya on the other side of the Cooper River.

What timing device best to start run/walk?

guest — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 20:42:01 GMT

I have walked two half marathons and am just starting training for a half that's coming up soon. I'd like to try my hand at an intro version of a walk/run with about 1 min walk/4 or 5 min run pace. What is a good/easy device to use to keep me awake for the pace change? thanks. Susan

Walking to running in Libertyville IL

guest — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 03:05:16 GMT

I made changes last year with healthier eating habits and hiring a personal trainer. I love working out, and being healthier than the past.

My goal is to run a half marathon by Feb 2012. I enjoy fast walk and running about a mile or two, but would like to know if there is anyone in the area

that would like to walk/jog/run with me. I find it easier to get the miles in when there is a partner or group. I am new to running and would love to make

it a great part of my life.

let me know.

Anyone training to powerwalk the Healdsburg CA Half Marathon Oct 30?

guest — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:57:16 GMT

I'm training for the Half Marathon in Healdsburg, CA on October 30 and am interested in knowing if any other powerwalkers out there might be doing it also. It would make it more fun to do a few training walks together. I live in Berkeley, CA. My goal is to complete the half in about 3 hours. Kate Mountain

Race Walk Training

guest — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 18:42:11 GMT

I am training to compete in the New York Senior Games and at the Masters Levels in the US Track and Field events. I have very active for the last 15 years and recently joined a small racewalking group near Albany, NY. My goal is to compete next year when I hit 55, but I want to shed about 15lbs, work on my racewalking form, and enter at least six or seven events 5K in 2009. Eventually I would like to compete in the 10K.

I am currently walking, rollerblading or biking at least 5 days a week. My walking program consists of some speed training of 1-2 minutes with 30 to 60 second recovery time for 3 miles, 5K time trial, and 4 to 5 mile walks.

What else could I add to my routine to increase my strength or stamina of my racewalking ?

Any suggestions to improve my efforts would be appreciated.
