ING Miami Marathon 2010 Training Has Begun

Hopefully this time I will be able to follow through on the training program. It seems though that fall, even though it keeps me pretty busy, is the best time to train for an event like this. 

The 2010 Miami ING Miami Marathon® is slated to start bright and early at 6:15 am on Sunday, January 31, 2010.

The plan for these updates is twofold. 

1. I would like to see if "going public" with my intent will finally push me through some rough spots in my training thus help me at least get well prepared to the starting line. 

2. I will attempt to keep a log of all training runs right here in the Marathon Nutrition/ Training category. Check back often as I will share important developments in sports nutrition ( I am almost done with my MS in Human Nutrition), more importantly, I will attempt a practical application of sports nutrition to make it a rewarding, safe and injury free undertaking. Of course to find out by trial and error what works and what doesn't, at least for me.

In a couple of days I will have a link to the 19 week running schedule to share for fellow runners preparing for a similar race or even the Miami Marathon. Posts will be short with as much relevant data as possible and of course some feely-touchy sports psychology.

Comments and questions from readers are encouraged and greatly appreciated. I will try to reply to as many comments as possible.

01.30.11- Miami (4:44:09) - Great to warm up in the Miami Heat arena before the start. The focus is on half marathoners as there were tons of groups. Corrals did not matter because people started in whatever group they felt. Crowded right up until mile 13 - the split. Desolate for marathoners past mile 14 with loops through unexciting neighborhoods. Although UofM was the medical group, poor medical assistance along the course. No performance spray so I had to use judgment when pain kicked in on the lower calf. Overall an average marathon in Florida sun.
