Recently, the US Air Force Marathon announced the shift of the 25th annual event from in-person event to a virtual event. You can read more about this decision here.
This sparked many of our trainees to evaluate all available options.
Yes this was supposed to be the Fall of live races, personal bests, and golden memories. Instead, we are back to evaluating "options". As the road race industry and participants continue to navigate through uncertainity, let's remember why we commit out selves to train.
For Runcoach trainee, Christi the decision was to charge ahead. The training was almost complete, and she is within striking distance of a new personal best half marathon result.
From Christi, "I decided to commit to using the Runcoach app when I signed up for the USAF ½ marathon. I was looking for a straightforward program that would be user friendly and generate speed and threshold workouts specifically geared towards my fitness level and race time goal. Completing the training workouts has improved my running form, VO2 max, and confidence. It has been enjoyable to run such a variety of paces. This has kept me mentally fresh and stimulated throughout the training weeks".
Christi, we wish you light feet and a strong heart on your virtual race day. Go enjoy your personal winner's circle!
