Week #2 Training With Lisa And Lucy

Hello team!

I am so excited to coach a team for Lucy Sportswear. Our training began last week. We started out with a 1.5 mile run/walk. The program is very gentle in it’s progression and is appropriate for most people. The goal is to complete the distance.

This week:  

2 sessions on your own during the week that are 20 minutes each. 

The 3rd session is a long run on the weekend - 2 miles.

You can run/walk or run the whole thing.

We have 10 more weeks until the IronGirl 5K and 10K. If you’d like to train virtually send me an e-mail or respond to this blog. Every week you will be able to follow our work outs on this blog.

Cheers
Lisa

WOW! Perfect timing. I can run just about 1.5 miles. I would love to get in on this. I don’t know anything about how to start or condition my body. Can you or anyone out there send me information on running and nutrition, hydration, shoes, etc, as well as keeping a safe heart rate while running. I’m in my early 40’s and want to stay healthy.

I went back to the gym after 4 years of absolutely no training a year and a half ago. I have lost 13 pounds and 8% fat, and ready to move on. I train at the gym 4 times a week, running, spinning, elliptical and strengh training. My new goal is to run a 5K marathon in Guatemala this year, I would love to receive the program.

Thank you!!

Thanks,

msjj1983 says:

Do you think 7 weeks is enough time to prepare for a 5k run/walk? I would like to join your program this week for a 5k on Sept. 7th.

July 17th, 2008 1:07 am

erin.martin79 says:

This seems like a great program. Would you be willing to send me some more information about the program itself? I am really looking into finishing a 1/2 marathon and getting my husband to finish with me. So we need some ideas for a good training program.

July 18th, 2008 1:19 am

July 18th, 2008 6:21 pm

cleavitt says:

I would love some more info. I’m training for a half marathon this September. I’ve never run before so all of this is very new to me. So far I’m loving it.

July 18th, 2008 9:53 pm

I have just signed up to complete a half marathon in November. Had a baby four months ago very unfit not trained in over a year and a half. Would be very interested and appreciate it if you could send me the program.

July 20th, 2008 11:00 pm

I am starting to prepare for a Mini-Triathalon in September… Running will be my weakness. I would love more info on this training program.
Thanks!!

July 21st, 2008 12:54 pm

Kate says:

I think I’m going to have to train with you, just to get my running mileage back up to where it used to be. I’ve been slacking and the ease of starting with this would make it great to get back into the swing of things!

July 21st, 2008 3:54 pm

khawkins74 says:

I want to join. Can you send me info and the guide?

July 21st, 2008 9:55 pm

jchowell says:

Hello there, I’m also interested in this gentle program. I want to learn to enjoy running and get that runner’s high I hear about, as well as shedding some unwanted pounds. Many thanks, Janie.

July 22nd, 2008 10:16 am

sabby says:

I’m new here and I’ve been working to get myself into shape. I think you’re program sounds like just what I need to start out. I’ve never entered a marathon yet. I figure that if I train for one that’s just going to help me focus on my body and fitness even more. I want to be a great rolemodel for my kids. And this will add the boost I need from my usual 5 days a week workout. Can you send me some more information?

July 22nd, 2008 11:17 am

jeegs says:

I just ran my first 5k and was happy to complete it but can tell I need more help in pre-training and actual strategy on running day. Can’t wait to learn more as I’d like to do another at the end og Aug or mid-Sept.
