Get Fit, West Seattle: New couch-to-marathon session to start

Ready to run? West Seattle Runner (WSB sponsor) is about to launch another session of Get Fit, West Seattle – with an informational meeting tomorrow night, per WSR’s Lori McConnell:

We are back at it! After just successfully coaching about 15 runners and walkers off the couch across the finish line of the Amica Seattle Marathon, we are ready for more. Starting on January 5th, we will invite another group to get off the couch and begin training for the Seattle Rock ‘N Roll Marathon in June. Participants will receive a training plan that is guaranteed to get them to the goal. Additionally, we will host clinics on nutrition, proper training and footwear and injury prevention. Along the way, walkers and runners can expect support, camaraderie and a wealth of knowledge. All of this at NO COST!!

The informational meeting is at 6:30 pm tomorrow (Monday, December 16th) at WS Runner, second floor on the northwest corner of California/Charlestown.

    This was great. About 50 people showed up with possibly varying starting abilities. Thanks to Lori and Tim. You guys are a great asset to the West Seattle community!

    Great idea. I hope you get a good turnout. My wife did a similar thing a while ago and ran the San Diego marathon. She has kept up the running, although much smaller mileage, and has a lot more energy.

Sorry, comment time is over.
