Greg Meyer will be speaking at the Maine Running Company this Thursday, April 16th, 2009. Greg Meyer is the last American man to win the Boston Marathon with his 2:09:00 in 1983. He has formerly held 2 world records (15K and 10 miles) and 10 American records (8K, 10K, 15K, 25K, and 10 miles.)
He will share his experiences with Boston, and along with the Maine Running Company coaches (Mike Gaige, John Rogers, and myself) he will be discussing how you can get ready for your first marathon or half marathon.
If you have some spare time and are in the Portland, Maine area this Thursday evening, I recommend stopping by. The normal training group run will begin at 6:00 and the 1st Time Marathoner clinic will begin at 7:00 p.m. All are welcome.
The event is free, but if you are planning on attending, please register in advance at the Maine Running Company.
I will be there! 🙂
Not for the running group because I will be attending a Bike Maintenance clinic at 6:00 pm but I cannot wait to hear about how to get ready for my first half marathon -- I am registered for the one in York in November.
See you tomorrow! 🙂
