Train for the 2009 Philadelphia Distance Run!

2009 Philadelphia Distance Run Training Team
Two Feet Off the Ground
Lindsey Schweiger, B.S. Exercise Science

Distance running is not just for the tall, lanky, and swift! Find the sense of personal accomplishment and warmth of community that comes with training for and participating in the Philadelphia Distance Run! Philly’s premier half-marathon starts at Eakins Oval, cuts through Old City and winds along the scenic Schuylkill River on its 13.1-mile journey!
In training for an endurance race like the Philadelphia Distance Run, each of us faces a challenge. For some, ten miles may feel like an insurmountable distance to traverse. For others, it may feel realistic but confused with logistics: When should I run? How fast? What do I wear? What should I eat before? And still others may feel that they are practiced runners who want to improve their performance.
No matter what your hurdle in 2009 - train under the guidance of a running coach with Two Feet Off the Ground! Feel the camaraderie and support of peers as we meet once each week for a "long run" group training. Explore your individual commitment further, following your personalized running program, with runs of shorter duration in between our meetings.

Make a commitment to improving your health and fitness level. Make new friends! Have an experience - though the training process can be tough, it is fun, enlightening, and rewarding.

And the race itself is AWESOME. Sign up!
