2012 Bricks to Bricks Training Program
Running or walking a half-marathon can be one of the more gratifying accomplishments you will ever have in your life. So many people think about taking part in a half-marathon one day, and with many its' on their "To do in my life" list.
Some of us are athletic, some skinny, some overweight, some running for years, some never have worn running shoes. Some of us are always talking about running or walking a half-marathon one day, a small group of us will actually run or walk a half-marathon.
Following a proper training program for a half-marathon is not easy.
We feel the half-marathon is a race, a competition (at least against yourself), and a distance that needs to be respected.
