West Seattle Runner’s next ‘couch-to-half-marathon’ training

| Health | West Seattle news | WS & Sports

It’s the fitness equivalent of zero-to-sixty – a “couch-to-half-marathon” training plan. West Seattle Runner (WSB sponsor) has led a successful group through it before and is getting ready to do it again – so if you’re interested in running/walking a half marathon (13.1 miles) but stymied about where to start, you’re invited to the info night for the next group, this Thursday (July 28). If you’re interested in the (free!) training, the 17-week plan starts Sunday, culminating in walking/running the Amica Seattle half-marathon on November 27th. The shop’s at 3727 California SW, northwest corner of Calif/Charlestown, upstairs; Thursday night’s info session begins at 7 pm.

P.S. WS Runner’s Tim McConnell also has a shoutout for Team WSR’s finish in the recent Ragnar Relay – 190 miles in 23 hours and 48 minutes: 15th overall, 5th in mixed-gender, 1st in mixed-gender running stores, all accomplished in WSR’s first-ever entry in the relay.

I’m interested, but their website has no info about the meeting, and you do not list the time…

This is a great training group. Anyone thinking of taking up running should check it out. I did the last group and expected it to be a sales pitch for the store. Could not have been more wrong. Tim, Lori, their staff and runners are very knowledgable and extremely supportive. I’m addicted to running now and I thank our local West Seattle Runner. By the way, great job WSR Ragnar Relay Team. That is quite an accomplishment!

Sorry, comment time is over.
