I was obese, unhealthy, and on 3 medications to control my blood pressure. I spent the majority of my life avoiding all things exercise. What was the most challenging part of your journey? The marathon was a huge success for us, and we owe a lot of that to the training plans provided as well as the support from all the group members. We leveraged the training plans to set ourselves up for the race, and we each found training partners with similar abilities who were also training for the marathon.
In spring 2022, we both joined the training class again, this time to use it as a build up for our first marathons. While the race got rained out, the training class was a big boost to my ability, and it was a real chance for me to find the joy of running with others. After a few attempts at my own training and not making significant improvement, I decided to join the training group for the 2021 Good Life Halfsy.
I attended some of the free group runs in 2019/2020, but didn’t sign up for a training group right away. Mandy enjoyed the training class, made several friends, and has been coming back for every training class ever since. We looked into the Fleet Feet training group primarily because of convenience – we live close to the store, but ultimately decided to choose the program because the group runs worked well for our schedule and the training class was a good size, so we knew there would be people Mandy could train with. When Mandy decided she wanted to run the Good Life Halfsy in fall 2019, we thought it would make more sense to find a group so she could train at her own pace.
